| Open baffle speakers @toddalin I have owned planars, horns and box speakers. The OB speakers that have come through my room are the GR Research Super V, the Spatial Audio X3, and now the Qualio IQ. It is my opinion that the OB speakers image just as good as anything... | |
| CLAYTON SHAW - CALADAN - JULY SHIPMENT LIST @bmwr75_horder You do realize you are replying to a guy who builds speakers for a living? | |
| Open baffle speakers In application, very impressive. | |
| Open baffle speakers @knotscott You mean something like this? https://www.qualioaudio.com/ | |
| Qualio IQ owners, still happy? A good indication is if it doubles power as it halves the load. Twice the power at 4 ohms from 8 ohms. Your Gato amp comes close. The Akitika is probably not a good choice with the IQ. | |
| Qualio IQ owners, still happy? My thoughts on the IQ were similar when using 150 watt tube monoblocks. But using the high current SMc modified DNA 0.5 changed that opinion. | |
| Qualio IQ owners, still happy? Keep listening, it gets better. The IQ with a beefy amp gives up nothing to my former Lascala IIs, and betters them in many areas. I just wish they could be driven by SETs, like the LS. But using a heavily modified SMc amp really makes them sing a... | |
| Qualio IQ owners, still happy? @dxbwineguy Anything to report with more hours on the speakers. I would assume they have pulled away from the klipsch speakers quite a bit by now. | |
| Speaker Suggestions for Next Move @mofojo Makes perfect sense. I over damped the mid horn in a pair of khorns once and had to remove some of it. Too much of a good thing sometimes. | |
| Speaker Suggestions for Next Move I had Cornwall IVs pulled off the wall about 3 ft using dual 15" subs. Yeah, the imaging was better in that position but still not as good as non horn speakers. | |
| Speaker Suggestions for Next Move There are a lot of things to love about the Klipsch Heritage speakers and I'm certainly a fan. And I think they do image better than most people give them credit. But it's not their strong suit. I have owned many other speakers that have better de... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for Next Move I think the Volti recommendation would be a natural progression for you, especially the Lucera. I had thought about that one myself. But I have another suggestion. I have been living with the Qualio IQ speakers for about two months now and they a... | |
| Amp Stands - Wood or Stone | |
| Amp Stands - Wood or Stone @kidbuck Your combative stance and attitude is likely what got your post removed. If I went on ASR and challenged the nerd types that all amps sound different, I would probably have the same reception. You aren’t the only one around here wit... | |
| Fezz vs Raven I’ve been using tube amps for 25 years. I’ve never had any fireworks. I’ve lost a couple of output transformers, but that was uneventful. Depending on the circuit design, most tube amps will blow a fuse if a tube runs away. Others, it will take ou... |
