Qualio IQ owners, still happy?


I'd like to hear from current or former owners of these speakers. Also anyone who has had an audition of them. What do you think? These are on my radar.

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.

I sold my Qualios recently and replaced them with a pair of Wharfedale Dovedales. The Qualios are very good, but I had a love/hate relationship with them for over a year. Some recordings were awesome, but much of my music collection was relegated to the sidelines because the IQs made them unlistenable. And this is in a highly treated dedicated room. I do miss them from time to time for the great things they did, especially on dynamic rock recordings. But it was time to move on.
