Hi,
My pair of Q15s have about 700 hours on them - they've been on 24/7 even when I've been gone but at a lower volume. To not totally upset the wife and dogs wile I'm away.
I can say WOW!!!!!!!!! I truly expected - good and no complaints - but no where close to worth the money (i got a bonus and figured what the hell) , but marginally better than what i had before. I was way wrong.
I totally believe in 2 subs for a 2 chanel system. Even tho subs basically operate in a non directional freq. It is apparent through listening that it makes a difference. Not in bass but in the spacial presentation of the system. I don't understand it - just believe after numerous systems over the last 15 years. Some with $700 subs, so i can't say i'm hearing through my pocketbook.
The Q15s are in my Ayre KXR20/Dag 400 monos/Raidho D5 system. I have them running as an addition to - no crossover to the main speakers. I have them coming in at a 24db per coctive slope at 34hz on the right chanel and 39hz on the left. I guess weirdness in my room. Or maybe my ear definciencies. Who knows - cause when I do measurements -- it says it should be 38 on the right and 46 on the left and both 2-3 db higher. But I don't care - i listen for my self - and i tap my toe better with my ear decisions. I love measurements - probably my math background.
What I can say is ---- the micro detail in the bass is astronomical. at ANY volume the bass is something I've never heard before. Its just as much of a "wow" moment as when I heard 300b's on a women vocal 20-25 years ago in a horn tap system. (my second system) Wholly shit - thats real, yes bass that is REAL.. This is truly the first time I ever heard that with bass. It's a whole new world.
I truly wonder as good as these are - maybe combined with just a 2 way that integrated low enough would be the SOTA best system. Yes they are that good. I love smaller 2 ways - I'll try sometime, I'm sure.
Whether you like the Magico sound or not - do NOT ignore these. I've had Magicos - but decided on Radio, but thats just a preference - not better. The Magico bass and especially in the Q15s is the best I've ever heard. And I don't think there is anything close being manufactured today - and i've tried to find something better, but failed by a bunch (feb 2017).
I'm still searching - I'll report back if I find something better.
