Qualio IQ owners, still happy?

These speakers really intrigue me. I went to a friend’s house today to listen to the Ultra model. Man, that soundstage is phenomenal. The only thing that bothered me was the midrange was slightly anemic. Could be his amp, but other than that it’s one of the best speakers I’ve heard south of $20k. I’m soooo tempted to order their ultra version with Gaia feet. But maybe better to wait for a used one.

Thanks for your insight; sounds like you can tune to your liking with components, cables or for me and the old school audiophiles, tubes 😊

@ozzy62 can I ask how much did you get them used for? also which country are you based in? I am in Dubai- trying to find them- used is going to be tough but still looking...

@dxbwineguy I sent you a PM. I don’t like to discuss price in the forum.

I’m sure you can get them factory direct for the retail price inclusive of shipping to Dubai. Whatever you do, make sure you get the Gaia II footers. They make quite the difference.

@arafiq what have you heard north of $20k that you feel beats the Qualios and why?
