Hi S1chen, Thanks for the sharing. What is the size of your listening area? The QSub15 has 2 15" woofers (back to back), so in terms of cone area, it is larger than even 4 10" woofers. And then there is the built-in (optimized) driving amp. I read some trying to mate the Q1 with JL with only mixed results.

You cannot just use the low pass filter to do the row off and expect it to sound good. In fact, I find it do more harm to the overall sound than the going without the Sub. This include both the S3, Q3, and Q1. I have use 6 of the DSP point to do the EQ to match in to the room and the Q1. My room is 12.5x28x9ft |

Congrats S1Chen...have always wanted to hear the QSubs. I have used a Velodyne in my system for well over 10 years straight now...currently running the DD18 in parallel with my Wilson X1/Grand Slamms. I enjoy it tremendously having spent a long time dialing it in. But would absolutely love to hear the QSub!!! Enjoy!

I trust S1Chen that you can get good results adding one or 2 Qsub-15 to a pair of Q1 or Q3. This is probably the most sophisticated sub design ever made. Fast, rigid drivers, very stable enclosure, good electronic. 15" Drivers used are top notch, they are the same which were custom developed for the bass driver of the Magico Ultimate... a 600k speaker - so you can imagine that Magico didn't take any shortcut when designing them. I heard also a demo of the Qsub18 when visiting the Magico factory for Ultimate set up. The power it can generate is sick! Not sure who needs so much bass but for bass freaks (i.e. not me) it is really crazy. I had the impression to be punched in the stomach.... Last edited by jazzman; 10-01-2014 at 07:06 AM. |

Now turn to a q1 with sub. First impression is it don't have the punch of a full range box speaker and hit you hard on the face. But when u listen to live concert, symphony and music with well recording. The sound is natural and it transport you into the venus of the recording. Once u heard this combo, u may not return to a speaker without the qsub. Well anyone used the q1 know this speaker totally disappear in the room leaving only sound from the music. So far, I am using the qsub15 with q1. Another customer use the same combo and constellation amp n Emm labs front source and pre. The last one use the SF Gunari with soulution 530. All are well tuned and the sound blend in beautifully and scale up the two outstanding small speakers into a live like concert hall. |

I used to use SF Guarneri with Velodyne DD18. I now use Wilson X1 with DD18...would love to try QSub15 and possibly use the active crossover to cut off the main speakers at 38hz...which is how Wilson's own Active Crossover/Thor subwoofer is designed by Wilson.
How does the QSub15 or 18 compare with other subs? Any guidance here from those who've heard it? Thanks!!! |

Fantastic S1Chen,
I am seriously starting to think about auditioning the QSub. When you say QSub may change your thinking...do you mean it might also change your thinking about whether or not you need 2 subs or only 1? At this cost...I hope 1 is enough! |
