I've just bought a pair of 12L2s (and when I say I've just bought them, I mean unpacking them an hour ago).
I'm blown away by these speakers, I didn't know if they'd be better
than my old Leak speakers but I can safely say that my fears have been
put to rest! Need to play around with positioning and get my speaker
stands set up properly to tame the hefty bass. Even though I didn't
demo these or any other speakers, I am seriously impressed and can't
wait until they're "burnt in".
Anyway, what I need to know is how
on earth to connect banana plugs to these babies. I can see no way of
doing so, as the centre of the terminal is blanked off with a coloured
dot (those who own a pair will know what I'm on about). Surely Quad
haven't designed a £500 speaker without provision for banana plugs? The
manual makes no mention of them.
Good job I haven't yet ordered my new speaker cable (with 16 QED Airlocs @ £4 each!)
