I heard the QLN at the NY audio show a year ago.
They were very nice, but seemed to be held back by either the system or cables.
They seemed to be similar to my Vandy Treo's when I had lesser equipment/cables.-Hence, my first comment.

Qln, Joseph Audio, Audiovector, Marten, or Canton...?
I am looking to upgrade my speakers. My amp is an NAD M10 with Dirac Live room correction, so bass response is adjustable to an extent.
For domestic tranquility they must be relatively compact with a wood finish. Floorstanders, not standmount. Budget of up to $15k-ish, but less is better.
My list consists of the following:
- Qln Prestige 3
- Joseph Audio Perspective 2
- Audiovector R3 Arrete
- Marten Oscar Duo
- Canton Reference 7K
Any and all impressions of these speakers, particularly any comparisons between them, are very much welcome. Thank you!

@thr1961 , I know it would be a schlep, but a visit to Audioconnections in Verona, NJ would be time well spent. If you could line up some other dealers on the way, then it would be quite a nice trip that would help you decide. And, perhaps reach out to the Audiogon community to see if there are any Joseph Audio owners nearby that would let you listen to their systems. Bob |
