About the 22L

The Quad 22L is the flagship floorstanding speaker in Quad's range, designed as a 2-1/2 way system with three drivers: two 170mm Kevlar cone drivers for bass and midrange, and a 25mm textile dome tweeter. It features a reflex-loaded lower bass driver and a sealed-box loaded bass/mid unit, providing a frequency range of 30Hz to 24kHz and a sensitivity of 89dB. The cabinet is heavily braced to minimize resonance, and the drivers are designed for low distortion and excellent detail, making the speaker suitable for audiophiles and music lovers. It handles power from 30 to 300 watts with a nominal impedance of 6 ohms. The crossover frequencies are approximately 150Hz and 3kHz. The speaker is praised for its transparency, dynamic bass extending to around 30Hz, and precise articulation of complex music textures. It requires careful positioning for optimal performance and is finished in a high-quality piano gloss, available in rosewood or black finishes. Dimensions are approximately 865mm high, 205mm wide, and 278mm deep.
