What are you using at the moment? Does the speaker have to be a floorstander? What size is your room?
The Quad system is a great performer and can pretty much drive any speaker - I have used the 909 driving KEF Reference 201's, which are hardly an easy load. Speakers are always a personal preference, so a demo is advised once you've narrowed down what you are interested in.
Personally, I'd rather save a little more, as there is a huge selection of speakers in the £1,200/1,500 price point - because of price rises, I feel there aren't that many real quality floorstanders left. Top quality manufacturers like Proac, PMC, Dynaudio and Spendor all start their floorstanders in this sort of price point, and are a huge step up from those in the £500/1,000 price point. I'd look at Spendor A5's, Proac Studio 130's and 140's, PMC GB1i's, Dynaudio's Excite X32's, as well as Monitor Audio's GS20's. For bass, I'd particularly point out the Proacs, Dynaudios and MA's, although from what you say you may find the Dyn's a little overpowering. Obviously all these speakers come with foam bungs to tailor the bass to your room in case of any serious problems. I would also look at the ATC SCM19's, which are more room friendly due to using a sealed cabinet, but still retain a pretty potent bass. The SCM11's are within your stated price point, and would be my first choice based on your requirements.

hi frank...... this is my first time to built sterio systems and new to this hifi world and need some advice of the hifi expert.my room mesurement is 7 meters by 8 meters.i have'nt any speaker at the moment i'm still auditioning . the speaker that i mentioned to my first email is not suitable to my system then specialy b&w cm7 and 684/683 tannoy dc6t/ quad 22L2. i realy want foor stand speaker.all the speaker that you mentioned is little bit expensive i can't afford them.anyway thanks for your advice i'm very appreciate it thanks.....
Neat Motive 2? A little bit of drama to compliment the smooth, detailed Quads.
The new Rega RS5s are a bigger floorstander and if the R5s are anything to go by, they'll be superb. I suspect their tonal balance will compliment the Quads well.

Good speakers but in a room that size they'll probably get lost. Only way is to audition and see what you think.

Hi:
For a room that size, the music you listen to, at a more resonable price, for clarity, for bass, and your likeness for floor standers - you will not be dissapointed with Monitor Audio RS6 speakers.
Please listen to them along with simillarly-priced FS, then decide.
