I am reluctant to post anything here about QLN 3's. And I really don't want to have a dialectic about the QLN speakers in comparison to any speaker I have not heard or listened to for an extended period of time. And I have no idea why I respond to this thread; other than I am somewhat challenged hearing wise and I have no mind of my own and I had two glasses of great Brochelle Zinfandel. BUT given my handicaps and lack of self regulation, I will say that the QLN"s are just wonderful, three dimensional speakers and the tonality and soundstage are phenomenal. Check out other OLN'3 reviews on this forum. You will hopefully rush to your local hifi dealer and buy a pair... And please I am kinda just funnin with my response....however the 3's are a wonderful speaker.. Blessings Carlitos |
@bolivarjoy - I’ve had the QLN Prestige 3 speakers for a couple of years now. I drive them with a Conrad Johnson classic 120 tube, Linear Tube Audio preamp, and Merason Dac1. I also have Dynaudio Heritage Specials which I drive with a Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated…
The QLN Prestige 3 speakers are balanced and incredibly musical. The general presentation is relaxed which makes for extended listening sessions. For my tastes, they are just wonderful speakers. Feel free to let me know if you’d like more details, etc. |
mbmi...I am pulling for my X2's as there is much to love about them. The bass is just uncanny in its presence and accuracy and the details it reveals in the music make my Sopra 2's sound muddled. However, and I'm not going to make a decision for another couple of weeks, but at the moment the X2's give off tweeter fatigue to my 65-year old ears and especially at higher volumes. Also, the soundstage, which is okay in width, is not near the Sopra 2's in depth and height. If these speakers were chairs the Sopra 2 is a well worn patina leather chair I sink in and the X2 is an excellently designed modernist chair but not the one you want to sit in for hours reading on a rainy day. Now, I will be curious as to what happens when my pair of REL S510's arrive on Tuesday. No need for anyone to respond about not needing subs...I am way past the line where I firmly believe a pair of subs create music that can't be matched without....I'm pulling for the X2's for if the tweeter settles or softens just a bit I will keep them for a long time. And, yes, I know others believe the extra hours are doing nothing for the speakers but only allowing my/our ears to adjust and become normalized. I'm going to take the word of the manufacturer and a dealer I spoke to who said the X's sound better past 100 hours and Borresen speakers further up the price line sound better after 200... |
