Feedback QLN Prestige Three Speakers Requested

are you going to sell the heritage speakers? (are they that bad?/that not good)

@bluethinker66 

I have heard a lot of Dynaudio speakers but not the Heritage. I just read great things about it. 

I would think that they are very hard to pair with a sub(s). They are so fine-tuned that adding bass would confuse the sound. At least that's what I have been through with my Evokes. I am finally pleased with a small sub at low gain and crossover settings, not perfect but can give me the bass fix when I need it without damaging my ear drums.   

I would be curious to know how you'll proceed.  

I also never heard any Qualiton gear, pretty interesting that they came from Hungary.

also, I have seen a lot of comments that Dynaudio likes power. I noticed the difference between a 30Watt and 60Watt amps but they seem to be happy with 60Watts as much with a 100. Knowing the Danes, they would engineer them with solid states amps so maybe it's a tube vs SS issue?

one issue with the QLNs is the design - for me. Swedish speakers are usually stunning, but am not sold on the QLN's looks (not that I could afford them)

re: mid-century vibe -  I am a big fan of it. The QLN does have that look.

taste is a funny thing, for months I couldn't understand the Hegel look. And then suddenly it clicked, now I think it's one of the coolest designs. 

@bluethinker66 how are the QLNs?

thank you @bluethinker66 that sounds very reassuring and fun. I have heard legends about the Dyna Heritage so the QLNs must be special. I assume you don't have a sub(s)?

Portland is an awesome city.

Greetings from San Diego and from the same year (’66)!

Yes, Dynas are hard(er) to driver. I added a sub to my Dynadio pair and it made a difference. But it took a long log time and trying many subs. For most music with moderate bass, I often don’t turn it on.

Finally, I can’t resist, dump the Hungarian stuff. Nothing good ever came out of that helll-hole, including me. I couldn’t be more embarrassed about the state of affairs of my old country (but of course, the amp may be awesome, I am just joking. But the name is bad marketing.)

oh, and now that you talked up your minimalist design and furniture, I'd love to see a photo of your audio setup

Bay Park, in the middle of SD proper.

Since I lived in Budapest for 30+ years I don’t know about the women being that beautiful but pretty spectacular for sure.

I tried different subs: Elac, SVS, Polk, Klipsch. I settled on a Martin Logan 700w. It was a step up from the "boom and chaos". But I need decent crossover control. Without it, generally, while the sound stage and 3D improved, it’s often sound chaos, reverb issues. Which is expected when both my monitors and the sub pound on the same frequencies and however sophisticated the Martin Logan and the placement are, it’s still not a clean soundstage.

I have a general dilemma with high quality monitors and subs: if a company invested so much in engineering two perfect speakers, who am I to mess with it and add a sub?

that LCH sub looks interesting, but pricey for sure

(and I know I should not judge a speaker by its web site but it’s pretty flaky)

@bluethinker66 great to hear it, I told you to ditch the Hungarian :)

Looking forward to the photo!

new record day Ron is head over heels the LTA

@bluethinker66 sorry for the messages drama, hopefully it didn't confuse you or piss you off. I have a short fuse sometime.

thank you @bluethinker66 !

some of us still have to work :)
