Qualio IQ owners, still happy?

@dxbwineguy 

Good to hear the IQ are sounding good right out of the crates; they will sound even better after those capacitors hit 250+ hours...

Did end up going to the Hi-Fi show in the Dubai. Saw and heard a lot of speakers. Wasn't paying attention to amps that much.

Stand-outs:

Cantor from Germany

Acoustic Energy (509) from the UK

Scansonic MB1 from Denmark

Axxess L1 and L3 from Denmark

And one which I had never heard of: Davies from France

There were many others. They were however great/excellent as expected, or too expensive or not good. KEF, Jade (Poland) etc.

The Klipsch give them a run for their money. IQ wins but just about. More on the vocals. Klipsch better on the bass. Basically if it is a vocal focused song then IQ otherwise the Klipsch.

I'm not sure if that's good for Klipsch or bad for IQ.

After capacitor burn-in and many days of woofer exercising, the low frequency will become tighter and more impactful as time goes along

The Qualio's are still satisfying. Every change made in the rest of my setup are clearly audible with this semi open baffle speaker.
