They're coming out with an all new Q line. They look great & I'd love to get my ears on them, in particular the Q300 monitor. Those new floorstanders also look interesting. Any feedback on the way they sound?

    I was really disappointed with the iQ30's when I heard them hooked up to a Marantz integrated.

    They looked promising and I was hoping they'd sound as good as they looked for a bedroom rig but it never happened.

    Wonder how the new q-line will measure up.

    I own some kefs 1Q70's. They are very crisp clear speakers. Excellent highs and mids. The bass is lackluster so make sure you have a sub if you get any kef's. But they are very detailed and they have good clarity. Here is a link to my setup, which is changing now that I have Martin logans.

    Great setup, rdb. I had the exact speaker system as you with the exception of center - I had the iQ6. Very clean and dynamic. I agree with you about needing a sub - the iQ7's definitely lacked in that department.

    I haven't heard any of their recent speakers so I can't comment on that. But if their older Q's are any indication, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    I had a listen to the iQ90's the other day. I was very impressed with them across the board. The new Q series should be out shortly & I'll surely be giving them an audition.
