Qualio IQ owners, still happy?

Anyone in the Florida peninsula with a pair or IQs that would be open to a listening session? I have been very interested in these for a couple years now, but I haven't been able to hear them. I can't bring myself to take a chance on them with how much they cost and the only dealer I have found in North America is Passion Hifi in Quebec. 

What the...this garage diy Qualio IQ speaker is 15k dollars??

Thought it was like 2000 dollars or something...

Econ 101 ---> Grade = F.

I think i might just name my next garage diy speaker (buy 200 dollar drivers from uncle satori, slap it on a board/openbaffle) ......Garagio,  an Italian sounding name perhaps so i can give it a good entry price.

Garagio by deep33, Price = 80k

Upper model Garagino Rocco by deep33, Price = 250k

You are too poor for the upper model?

Ok, i’ll make a more reachable midlevel model.....Garageone Nico, Price = 120k (about 86% ’performance’ of upper model)

I auditioned this speaker before and generally agree with your perception. Audiophiles trust that you provide an unbiased assessment, especially regarding the critique of light bass and the previously measured bass dip in the 35-50Hz range.  
 

That measured dip is likely due to a room mode. In-room, far-field measurements do not accurately reflect a speaker’s bass response below ≈250Hz. The bass response would have to be measured separately by placing a mic very close to the woofer and port, and then splicing that gated response into the rest of the graph. 

When reviewers measure their in-room response from the listening position, as I expect that reviewer did, the results are essentially meaningless for potential buyers. 

Hello there!

I might buy a pair of Qualio Q in the near future and I d like your advice.

I m currently running a pair of Spendor A7 driven by a Marantz model 30 and using a chord mojo 2.

Would you say that the Qualios would be an upgrade ? I m a bit scared about comments related to lack of bass but I guess I can t get less bass than my current Spendors.

Thank you!
