Great review. I found them to be identical to how you found them perform. I had both the q150 and q350. Sold the 350’s as I found them muddy no matter what amp I paired them with, and have the 150’s in my office running off of a WiiM amp. They are fantastic for near field.
Have my Q350s paired with Marantz amps as well as audiolab 6000a and absolutely NOT muddy at all! But then again i paired them with a sealed subwoofer so the bass is super tight.
I have these and you are bang on with Dog and Butterfly...a Schiit Loki with these fixes the shortcomings in the mid range and brightness...I can listen to these for hours on end with this pairing
He called them nasally, what’s the expression…maybe the coffee calling the kettle black, just saying. Good, honest review all and all. I think I may purchase these in walnut I like the looks and the price. Sorry For poking fun at you sir but you may want to reserve the word nasally for when it’s just you and your doctor 😅
Just bought these and slightly wish I’d gone with black instead of white. Haven’t listened yet. Was debating between Q150, Borea BR02 and Spektor 2. Hopefully they don’t sound too bright ..
