I have Rotel Amp and Pre-amp,Arcam 73T CDP and B&W 703's. The 703's are very edgy and too out front with way too much top end in my room.The Arcam was my last attempt to tone down the system and while it's an excellent player I'm still unhappy with this system as it's currently configured.I know my room's acoustics are less than ideal(oak floors,cathedral ceiling,can't move speakers more than 8 inches off wall), but my previous Proacs actually sounded quite good as they're a much more neutral sounding speaker.The 703's are 2 years old and I just can't live with them.I was at a friends house who had Quad 22L's connected to components of similar quality to mine.I was completely blown away by how much better his system sounded compared to mine.His room has better conditions than mine, but there seemed to be more to it than that to my ear.I have since done some research on the 22L's and they seem like they might be a perfect fit for my system and room conditions.I haven't been able to find a local dealer who has the 22L's so I can audition them.(I have a local Quad dealer but he doesn't have demos for this model)I was just looking for some feedback on these Quads as I'm very intrigued by some of the incredible reviews for the 22L.I noticed it's a rear ported speaker so I guess it would sound better further off the wall than my room allows.I could resort to sliding the speakers off the wall for listening sessions, but would have to move them back every time as they would be in the way for normal room use.This option didn't imrove the imaging of the 703's enough to warrant doing it every time I listened to my system.I don't think my friend's the kind of person who would be receptive to me borrowing his 22L's for a day or that would be a no-brainer.My used 703's are worth a little less than new 22L's and I'm more than willing to take the loss to get the right sound.The rest of my system including wires ran around 4K and including the 3k 703's it's a huge disappointment for a system in the 7K range.I know a system needs to be carefully mated and I blew it with the B&W's.I'm hoping a more neutral speaker in the $1500 price range will at least be an improvement if not a total solution.Thanks in advance for any opinions
