i will make a lengthy post on my past 4 months of putting together this system....am still waiting for a pair of magico qsub15, room treatments, nordost qpods, magico qpods....then im done!

Fantastic stuff...cannot wait to read all about the Q15s going into the system! When do they arrive?

I could totally believe that! I was discussing the Q18 (not quite the space for 2 x QSub15 but could possibly squeeze 1 x Q18)...and am also contemplating 2 x Funk Audio 18.2s (which are also dual-opposing 18" cones)...smaller main footprint with the significant 4000-watt amp and also crossover/controller as external rather than internal.

Primarily looking to understand what happens with the level of bass impact something like your Q15s will add. I have read loads about the REL25 6-pack and the Dual-Thors/Subsonics from both owners and writers. So getting a good feel for what might happen in our system...looking forward to reading about your experience. You've got a great big room, so should be pretty spectacular.

You really need to try stereo Velodynes Lloyd. Before you move on?

Congrats, the M3s are excellent speakers. I heard them with T+A mono blocks which was an excellent combination although not on your list. Enjoy!

Am still waiting on the Qsub15s to arrive. Peter (the wizard at Magico) had me chane the orientation of the system. Aftermusing some absorbers/stillpoints i took some measurements using REW. So I reckon that once the subs are here it will a LOT flatter....will decide on final treatments after....

 

[LL21]

Very exciting! Really looking forward to hearing more about your adventures with the pair of Q15s!

Hi.
Any updates?
Inquiring minds want to know.

 

[joey_v]

I believe the whole system that he was supposed to be done with… all of it changed.

 

[TDX]

What happened?

 

[joey_v]

I guess you’re never done

he went gryphon speakers and equipment

 

[Audire]

We love Magico M3s driven by Vitus SM-103 monos. Awesome combo!

 

[Ron Resnick]

i took some measurements using REW.

Is that elevated range of 700Hz to 1.5kHz noticeable?

 

[thesaint519]

Sorry! My signature has now been corrected. I have the Boulder 2110....I was able to do the deal on it and get a 2110 instead of the 1110. The 2110 is THE best preamp i have ever had.

Am waiting on a pair of Magico Qsub 15s to complete the setup...

Now THAT, is a thing of beauty. That is the system I wanna be when I grow up… So, how does it sound?
