I am not an audiophile in anyway, but I can tell you what ears are hearing. My system consists of Denon AVR-X3600H as a pre-processor and Outlaw Audio 7000x (delivering 130 watts/channel, maybe a little too much for the Q550, but I am not listening that loud) with Monoprice interconnects, and Micca 14 Gauge Pure Copper speaker cables. I have been breaking in the speakers for over 2 weeks (Yes, you need to break them in), and I can hear the difference. All of the musics that I have been listening to are from YouTube, but I have picked musics with cleanest and highest audiophile grade.
Female and male vocals are clear, smooth and so detailed!!! The treble is silky and detailed, but I thought it's a little bright at high volume. The sound stage... This is where the UniQ drivers shined! Pin-pointed instruments bring on depth and width. And when called for, the vocalists can be brought to the front with detailed breaths, sizzles and dynamics!
I listened to the Eagles' "Hotel California" acoustic version, and the nylon string guitars just sound so good! It was like I was there! The bass is sufficient, and I can hear but not feel the kick drum (I sort of wish I bought the 750 or 950 instead).
Overall, this is probably as close as I ever get to own an audiophile system, and I am just happy happy!!!
