I've had Q-10, Kimber 8TC, Kimber 4PR, Straightwire Encore II, Silverline Audio Conductor, and zip cord in my system. Speakers have been Totem Forests, Thiel 2.2s, and Silverline Sonatinas. None of these speakers could be called warm, and my listening room also tends towards brightness. I found the Q-10s to be wonderfully detailed and "airy", but slightly harsh with my equipment and room. Right now I'm using Kimber 8TC.
If you are looking for detail and a sense of airiness, the Q-10 will probably be quite suitable. On the other hand, if your system tends toward brightness you might look elsewhere. I do recommend DH Labs for (relatively) affordable, high-quality products.
