"Not going to finish with a full review yet as I haven't chosen my amp and phono pre yet, so I'll wait.

But, if you're reading this thread because you're thinking of buying or have bought and scouring for info...

Buy em. If they have a weakness I can't find it. And usually I find a lot ;). If these speakers were $30k I would say buy em. At the price they are I say buy two pairs, I can't imagine them staying this price forever."

"This is my setup, the speakers are on another level amazing sound and i have not put the IsoAucostics under yet. And i am sure it will be better. I have had few friends come over to listen and they all agree it is the best sound so far."

Thaks alot

Grzegorz is an audiophile but also a pro photo and videographer. He fell in love with the speakers and took some amazing photos that he shared with us and you can see them on this website. Thank you Grzegorz :)

A week with my IQ’s….first let me say not only are they gorgeous…they are just “ COOL”!

The upper drivers in acrylic look like they’re floating…gr8 look.

Sound wise when I first placed them they sounded Gr8… I thought I situated them perfectly, but then moving inches this or that way kept sounding even better. There is no bad spot for them.

They are amazingly open, spacious and FAST!

I am going from Martin Logan electrostats to these…the IQ’s are faster and more coherent….and they’re probably not fully broken in yet.

I’ve watched a couple of your videos on isoacoutics under electronics ( didn’t hear any appreciable difference) and Gaiai footers ( nice improvement).

You did mention the Gaiai III’s were $400….think you misspoke…the II’s are $400….the III’s $600 for 8. The II’s are good for 70lbs max, which is right at IQ weight.

Last night listened to Eva Cassidy (goosebumps)….Tom Waits (his exotic instrumentation so real and distinct)…and check out new artist “Zander Zon”…song “Accelerate” (he tunes & plays his bass as a guitar…very cool)

They also play Gr8 at high or low volume at night.

I’ve said enough.

Thanks,

 I am warming them up very well , listening about 2 hours each evening and I am delighted so far!

The low end is superb, the top end crystal clear. The sound stage is wide and deep. My previous speakers were a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 8 floorstanders ( now 3 years old) and a pair of 15 year-old REL Britannia subwoofers. I stream hIgh res audio from Qobuz.

 I now realise that the sub-woofers were not well integrated with the floorstanders - and this is what I notice now - a completely smooth transition from mid to bass to sub bass. Also the IQs go lower in frequency and are much more accurate ( the subs are quite old ).

For the first time ever , I can say that when I am listening , in any cases the speakers disappear and voices and instruments have real presence! When I was a 20 year -old student , in 1973, I went to one of the first performances of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" at De Montfort Hall in Leicester. It made a big impression on me. And when I listened to it a couple of nights ago on the IQs, - it really felt like I was back there again , a 20 year old student in De Montfort Hall ! I have listened many times to this work on various systems , and this is the first time I experienced such realism.

This week I listened mainly to rock/pop/folk/electronic music. Next week I will focus on classical/orchestral/choral.

All good! So pretty well. Token on after running day and night for 10 days. Amazing top to bottom performance. I’m noticing a much linear bass response through the Scale. Most speakers will present a hump in the 40kz range for effect which as you know clouds other aspects of the music. These are very sick and dynamic by contrast and even though they are less efficient, their dynamic speed and larger cone sugars produce a very compelling visceral presence. My only small reservation is the position of the midrange from this very dynamic driver, which places vocals very far forward, front row but not ever harsh, just takes a hit of getting used to. It’s a very unusual presentation as the open back presents a depth of stage that is sometimes countered by the very front row presentation of the front wave. Very curious, still figuring it out, possible placement change or some damping in the back or side walls? My initial reaction. Was that the driver needed a 1db reduction or very small damping, but what do I know, I am not an engineer. Still playing around. I do know the resolution and soundstage is quite good, as good as I have heard from over 40 different speakers I’ve owned. 

I did end up using the 2.7ohm resistor in my system with great results. I’m using a SVS SB 3000 with remarkable

Results, it blends perfectly and creates a sound field in my listening room of 106db peak with my db meter, it’s much fun!

Yes, the speakers are well packed and arrived safely. The packing boxes are now blocking my garage ;-)

Of course, I have already been able to listen to them a bit. The speakers are playing at a distance of about 1.9 metres from the front wall. Only slightly toed in. The virtual axes cross far behind my sitting position. Nevertheless, the imaging is extremely accurate, the stage is wide and the sound is detached. 

Compared to my Boenicke W5, the speakers dominate the room more visually, but due to the transparent mid-treble unit, they integrate perfectly into the room. The speakers are driven by a Boenicke P1 Class D amplifier. It produces a wonderfully full and tangible sound, which the IQ transports superbly. Very pleasant is the fact that the bass is not boomy or rumbling in may room. The bass is not a " offensive showman" but it blends harmoniously into the music. Resolution and transparency are of course worlds better than with the small Boenicke.
