I've had "issues" with the way my Quad 22L's have sounded since I bought them. I wasn't happy with the highs. I changed the setting from the Coax input on my reciever to Analog and was rewarded with a TON more presence. Sadly, even with the improvements, the 22L's still don't have what I'd call sparkling highs.

However, the center chanel speaker does. I have the 22L's bi-wired, but the center is using a smaller gauge wire. Do you think this is a product of the wiring, or just the nature of the tonality of the center channel vs. the 22L's?

Equipment is as follows:

HK AV-246 reciever
Emmerson $39 DVD player for CD playback.

Yes, I realize the equipment isn't HI-FI, but it's all I can afford at the time. Too many other projects, '68 Camaro, Race Jeep, Bass equipment for my band, kids, wife, etc......
