Probably getting ready for the NW Audio show in a couple of weeks time in leafy Cheshire. I was thinking of popping down on the day ( it is free, and not a million miles away from me ) and I was browsing the website yesterday and noticed that IQ Speakers will be one of the exhibitors.

Until the last month he was always promoting his speakers on Ebay - in the PMC section. They've gone.

His amps have been advertised in the Electrocompaniet section. Gone.

I know he has his fingers in other pies, so perhaps he found selling little-known Nordic amps too much hassle.

As stated above he looks very busy to me in other markets with all his products so maybe he has moved UP to the next level , he certainly deserves wider recognition for his top class products considering the amount of work he has put in to his small but expanding business.

North West Audio Show
iQ Speakers and Nord Amplifiers at North West Audio Show.

Nord Hypex NCore NC500 amps will be on show at the North West Audio Show and the importers urge visitors to come and hear why USA Audio Shark members are replacing expensive high end amps with their (from) £999 Nord Hypex amplifiers complete with discrete Voltage regulators and Op Amps.

They also build beautiful IPL Acoustic Speakers and have the Norwegian Abrahamsen Audio range in the UK.

Why don't you call him to ask how he is?

I'm sure he will be very pleased to speak to you and rather touched by your concern.

He will also be pleased that you are indirectly continuing to advertize his business.

maybe that's why he has not been on here lately because he doesn't want to get blamed for trying to sell abrahamsen on here or getting other people to do it for him . Do you blame him for not coming on here ! Word of mouth is very powerful the product sells its self and lots of happy customers who believe in the product

My thoughts entirely. He seems damned if he does show his face on here and also damned if he doesn't. Always seemed like a thoroughly nice guy to me and I wish him nothing but the best.

PP'S got attitude must have been bullied in a past life.

Colin is one genuine guy trying to make a living and then there's idiots that come along and "well must be a bit gel"

if i remember colin was even prepared to offer you a free 30 day return on his products so you could actually hear for yourself how they sounded.

slate all you like

iq's doing very well

*yes3*

The 40s are great but its only a 6.5 inch driver but as the 11s will be my rears i can have music in the meantime.
Without the feeling of wanting to upgrade. Once i have them ill do a good review.

Still not sure why you desire so much power. Do you live in a warehouse?

I've got a Nord stereo power amp and the ATC SCM11s (fed by Linn Majik DSM streamer). The sound is excellent and listening periods tend to be longer than before as a result. It's become harder to turn off (not a switch issue!). Maybe this is a good litmus test for great kit?

Well unless something important comes up then I am definitely attending the NW Audio show and will certainly be popping in to say hello to Colin.

ps: what will your sources be, will there be a CD player by any chance? If so I might bring one of my cds along to have a listen.

Crikey. well, that explains why you purchase all your stuff here. Mind you if you're building those huge actives, they'll provide a challenge to get them back to S. Africa.

Those large kit speakers will be passive though.
I did look at active also but decided on passive
