Not sure 14 spares are much available so take care..
11 v precise imaging, refined sound.. but really quite boring
Have owned 11's and 14's and remember hearing 12's some years ago.
Many fans of the 14 on here but I always prefered the 11 v finding it more agile with better treble and in spite of its size appearing to go lower in the bass than the 14.Used mine all the way up to Naim 52/250 .
I thought the 12 had a different tonal balance with more bass and treble but ultimately less music.
In my own opinion of course.

David
The M12/12.2 are built in England as with all epos speakers of that era, just owned & designed by a different guy.I've heard 11 against 14, latter is more demanding and bas is hard to control.
Both have that lovely uncoloured midrange
among those two 11 would be choice for me in smaller room (if not the more recent ESL3)
Original 12 are harder to come by but choose any good cared unscrated pair in orig boxes, they keep prices £150-300
I believe M12/2 is far east stuff, never heard anything positive about them
Unfortunately most of them have biwire connections which is kind of strange

What Rico says about source/amp - IIrc they were developed on Olive stuff.
By todays standard a bargain
David, you aren't alone - I preferred my ES11's to ES14's also with a NAP250 - both on OEM stands.
