    Field Coil Driver Panel Discussion at Southwest Audio Fest 2024

    I like the sons so much I've decided to try and mimic what I liked about them, with some changes, in my own build. I intend to use the ems ma5ex which is a smaller 5" full range, open baffle, and supported by two open baffle woofers per side and a tweeter (super tweeter?). I have high hopes...

    Treehaus Audiolab

    Crazy for me reading this. Rarely do I get to run into people who state indie as a primary genre... usually if it's rock at all it's classic rock, while for me I need yo la Tengo, dinosaur Jr and pavement to sound as good as Andrew Bird or cat power does. It's not an easy task to be honest and...

    Qualio IQ Review

    Haven't done it yet. I've made so many changes lately I'm not doing any tweaks until it's all settled and run in.

    Qualio IQ Review

    I think I will be. Isoacoustics says within 10% go up a size. I can get them on Amazon and if no noticeable difference, return them. I'll report back on what I hear.

    Qualio IQ Review

    I already had the giai 3 so that's what I'm using. The dividing line between the 2 and 3 is basically the exact weight of the qualio. I can't help but want to try the 2 and see if they suite better.

    Qualio IQ Review

    They absolutely disappear. They will do what you ask of them. It doesn't matter what kind of music you like, you can cater the sound to your taste using other components. They can be soft, warm and delicate. They can be hard driving, intense and dynamic. They can find the line between the two...

    W Audio AC Power Filter Conditioner w/Surge Protector

    I was looking to try something available on Amazon so I can easily test and if it doesn't work with my system, return. Seems this may be the one to try. I have a dedicated line I would still use for my power amp but would try this for my dac and turntable probably. I need some more outlets anyway.

    Experience with luxman ad8000?

    I have an allnic h3000 and I've seen various mentions of people using suts with them. This got me interested in experimenting. There's a luxman ad3000 (with 3020) available near me for a reasonable price but I can't find a whole lot of information on it. Seems well regarded but maybe not the...

    Qualio Audio join the WBF forums!

    Little update for me. I have had and loved my Lab12 Suono for many years, but the 25wpc single ended amp just didn't work that well with the qualio, understandably. After many amps (mostly integrated) over the last year, all pretty heavy hitters, i never found the pure musical enjoyment I have...

    Qualio Audio join the WBF forums!

    I really appreciate your analysis on the above posts. And I agree, as I said I'm my review, if I had to give the qualio strength in one word it would be balance. While I didn't know that was something I cared about that much, when you hear a perfectly balanced speaker everything just clicks. I...

    Qualio IQ Review

    I think wonderfully. I've used with 25wpc Vinnie Rossi and 25wpc class a tubes and both are fantastic at my 75-85db range in a 25*16' room.

    Qualio IQ Review

    That's a bit of a rough one now as I didn't have the s200 for all that long and was a good 7-8 months ago but... The s200 I thought had wonderful grip and authority and power. The timing felt right. As far as I can recall it did nothing wrong and had heaps of positive qualities. But at the end...

    I do think the ktema will remain my end game and I think i will fly to Italy, spend a few weeks, find a used pair a t a good price and send them back home. I almost got some for around $10kusd used so if I find a deal like that... The other big part of not getting the accordo was thinking I...
