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.
Feedback QLN Prestige Three Speakers Requested
Forum Members -
While I have another thread asking for general advice on speakers & preamps/power amps, I was hoping to hear feedback specific to the QLN Prestige Three speakers. I am close to purchasing a used pair and would welcome input from folks who own and/or have heard the speaker in-person.
Based on their reviews and sound clips I've found, they appear to be what I'm looking for:
- Laid back, yet immersive sound
- Musical vs. analytical presentation
- Sounds good with tube amplification
- Great base for a smaller floor standing speaker
- On the warmer and smooth side
At the end of the day, I'm looking for a speaker that is warm, laid back and musical. After work, while making dinner, or relaxing in the living room, I'd love the speaker to help create a relaxing and comforting environment in my household.
Musical taste: Classical piano and cello sonatas, acoustic guitar, slowcore/shoegaze rock, bossa nova, electronica/techno and lots of 90's English guitar bands. In brief, I'd like to be able to play lots of different styles of music. I'm finding that's not the case with my existing system, unfortunately.
I'd replace the Dynaudio Heritage that just fall short on base response...
The Current System
- Dynaudio Heritage Special Speakers
- Innuous Zenith Music Server
- Merason DAC1
- Qualiton/Audio Hungary Tube Preamp
- Qualiton/Audio Hungary 100 Watt Power Amp
- Cardas Clear Interconnect and Cardas Cygnus Speaker Cables
- Lessloss Power Cable for Power Amp
**I've got a Linear Tube Audio Microzotl Preamp on the way to replace the Qualiton/Audio Hungary Tube Preamp
My Question for Forum Members:
What are your impressions of the QLN Prestige Three? Based on what I'm looking for, do you recommend the QLN Prestige Three? If not, what else might you recommend that fits what I'm looking for?
THANK YOU!

@jeffstrick - Hi Jeff - Amazing! If you don't mind me asking, how did you arrive at that combination - Audio Hungary tubes and QLN Prestige Three? |
@ronboco - Hi! I'm a newbie, so I have no idea on how I would do that. Might you be able to provide me some general guidelines? What tools would I need? How would I do it? |
