Qualio IQ owners, still happy?

@wig 

Wow 2-3 months for break-in at my age? :)

I do have to admit I'm very conflicted on this because of complications with swapping out my main speakers. Several issues involved to deal with. It sure was a simpler process all the way around 50 years ago if memory serves.

Thanks very much Wig for your impressions, I find it helpful.

Be safe,

At that time I was using my 300b monoblocks but you'll hear a big difference after 400+ hours 😁

I have the regular Qualio's too. Almost a year. really like them.

One clarification: what do you mean by "absorption behind the speakers"?

regards,

@ozzy62 

as an update- retired the Axxess L3- trying to sell them. Have given them to a dealer to sell. Listen to the IQs via the Gato 150, alternating between the Thorens TD1500/Cambridge Audio Alva ST. Streaming continues via the DMP A6.

I'm using GIK 244 bass/absorption panels on the front wall and 4 feet behind my Qualio's. These controls front wall reflections by absorbing some of the radiated sound, giving you a more expansive soundstage and tighter image focus.
