Nice crossovers. I used them in a pair of Cornscalas many years ago. GLWS.

Isoacoustics GAIA on Cornwall or Heresy?
Shakeydeal replied to McBlueMeter's topic in General Klipsch Info
I can’t tell you or the OP how they sound on horns, but I have the Gaia II and carpet spikes on my Qualio IQ speakers and there is a definite improvement. -
I gave up a pair of 15” subs when I bought the Qualios and don’t feel like I’m missing much at all.

@ARjetman is going to get this poster as soon as I get off my lazy a&* and send it out to him.

I still have it. I am in Lynchburg.

That was a good price, no wonder they sold so quickly. Congrats to seller and new owner.

55” or 65” TV Screen Size and Your Speakers: Please Join Survey
Shakeydeal replied to oltng's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
Just realize that when you combine music and movies you are going to make a compromise with one or the other. You really need to be ok with that. -

65” with a soundbar/sub. That’s in the living room. That’s for watching tv and nothing more. No big *** tv between the speakers. Just no.✋ -

Hattor Audio passive pre for sale in excellent condition. This is a great sounding preamp that has dispatched many others in my system. Only selling due to acquiring much less sensitive speakers and harder to drive SS amps. This version has the top of the line AMTrans AMRT resistors. 64 1db steps. I have all the original packing material, flight case and outer box. Comes with original power cord and that awesome Khozmo remote. This preamp is fantastic with tube amps and klipsch speakers. Venmo (preferred) or PP F&F, your choice. 900.00 plus shipping.

Congrats to the seller and the new owner. It’s a great dac.

I hate to go down a rabbit hole about another speaker on a klipsch forum. But the bolded above could not be farther from reality. The OB part of the speaker allows for a huge soundstage in width AND depth ( that last part is something that horns don't typically excel at). Former khorn owner here so I know what they can do. Most of the sound demos of the IQ on youtube are very accurate in respect to tonal balance and bass response. But you are right, it's hard to convey that sense of openness and imaging on a video clip. Again, I'm not taking anything away from horns. I love and respect what they can do. But there are other speakers that can go toe to toe with them.

Who is everyone using for Finance?
Shakeydeal replied to KlipschPapi's topic in General Klipsch Info
I won't buy stereo equipment if I have to finance it. But hey, that's just me. Or is it........? -
I swap between two amps. A heavily modified (by SMc) McCormack DNA 0.5. I also have a pair of Tsakaridis KT-120 monoblocks. Both do a very good job of driving these speakers.

My apologies to some of the regulars around here. I know not many are interested in hearing about other speakers. This is first and foremost a klipsch forum, and I get it.
-
I will second all of what @Fido has mentioned above. I listen to quite a bit of jazz and blues and I can attest that these speakers are wonderful with those genres. I have yet to hear anything the IQs don't handle with aplomb. Their excellent dynamics and bass response belies their modest size and footprint. The soundstage and explosive dynamics are the equal of the lascala or the khorn. The bottom end is better than the LS and at least as good as the klipschorn.
