| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid @sls883 Understood and good choice. I have owned two versions of the VR4. Albert (RIP) made some damn fine speakers. | |
| What Horn loaded speaker/ speaker system for $10k'ish and under @pdreher No, I really didn’t have any regrets. I liked the Parsifals a lot. They were just a little polite for metal and hard rock. I have since moved on to the Qualio IQs, which are good at all genres. I need to update my system page. | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid @sls883 Very confusing. You say you stayed with the VS speakers, then you say the new speakers are an improvement. Which is it? | |
| A brief review of GR Research Bully Thanks for the post. I looked at these in the past and thought they were interesting. How about a little insight into how they sound? | |
| colibrie Drop the love, and keep the drunk. | |
| Open baffle speakers It seems that @bache has a habit of starting controversial threads about OB speakers. Not a good look for a manufacturer who builds a competitive design. | |
| Open baffle speakers @dbt The thing I didn’t like about the X3 was Clayton’s decision to use a 12” driver to reproduce the midrange. I never got the feeling that the midrange reproduction seemed “real”. There was no texture to voices and instruments. Dynamics were g... | |
| Preamp upgrade I’ve owned the 3a several times and always enjoyed my time with it. Not sure about the 3b, but if it has the same amount of gain, then you need to consider that. These are extremely high gain preamps with wide steps on the attenuators. Not a good ... | |
| Dodd Audio Preamp A few years ago I owned Danny’s Super V loudspeakers. These included the two woofer version of the OB subs. Although the coaxial driver was not ready for prime time, it was some of the best lower frequencies I’ve ever heard. | |
| 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. |
