"Tonally, the Q3s sounded dead neutral, as I would expectfrom seeing their pancake-flat frequency-response graphs -- there’s little ofinterest to report in that respect"
Below 1KHZ, it doesn't look "pancake-flat."

Will the speakers be sent to NRC for a fully set of measurements?
Great question.Jeff,
Since you have had the Alexandria's in the Music Vault before, and many of us have experience with them, how do you compare them with the Q3 in terms of tonality?
Jeff,
Very interesting review - immediately after reading it I felt obliged to look for my MFSL vinyl copy of Girl from Ipanema! I have no experience with the Gryphon's - do you thing that an amplifier such as the Audio Research REF150 coudl drive the Q3's? Since you have had the Alexandria's in the Music Vault before, and many of us have experience with them, how do you compare them with the Q3 in terms of tonality?
Very nice review Jeff. At the recent California Audio Show I heard both the Q5 and then the Q3. The revelation you heard between the Q3 and the Tidal was the same I had comparing the Q5 to the Q3. The Q5 was beyond belief good whereas the Q3 was very good. Simply put if you're interested in buying the Q3 don't audition the Q5

How does the Q efficiency rate? Jeff, do you think it indeed hits 90db as claimed?
everyone says Q5 needs 500 watts, so never will work for me.
Tidals use of MDF in a 24k 2.5 way is pretty non-interesting. Not surprised at the comparison.
Thanks Jeff, nice review. But the immediate price increase of $5K since its introduction, for no apparent reason other than to allegedly ride the rave wave, leaves me cold...
Is Morel in Israel building their drivers?
I am really confused. .
Can you be explain how you reached this conclusion? Beyond belief versus very is not very elucidating.
Tangentially related, for my taste the Q5 also left me wanting in the VLF.
