Last week I had a friend pick me up 3 sets of AQ King Cobra IC's from Magnolia at Best Buy. They are discontinuing them so that they can carry Monster (yuck!!). Anyway, I got them for 50% off, so I figured, what the heck, since I had already bought a pair to go between my reciever and power amp.

Anyway, after a week of almost non stop listening, I have to say that it is the best "bang for my buck" investment I have yet to make for my system. I feel like I have gained volume and have to turn it down, particularly on high-rez formats like SACD and DVD-A. The clarity is stunning and the bass really packs a wallop in HT. Not bad for $87.50 a pair. Long live AQ!!!

    I'm not a huge AQ fan, but they really have a nice product line for every level of insanity. I always suggest AQ as an alternative to MC, as I'd rather support Bill Lowe than Noel Lee.

    The King Cobra is a very decent IC, enjoy!

    I did the same last week. Time for you to go find some CV-6 speakers cables to round out the package!

    Enjoy the Cobras! Try and locate some AQ speaker wire like the Bedrock. Use the Monster wire for ice fishing up there in beautiful Alaska:D

    Sweet. AQ stuff is very nice, especially for the money. I almost got a King Cobra a few years ago but ended up buying the Diamondback. Enjoy your system.
