One pallet, two crates, eight locking wheels. After the usual hallway unpeel of carefully packed goods which include all necessary tools for minor assembly, IQ30 stopped for a brief photo op versus my residents before pushing its elder but smaller sibling to the curb.

Then it was time to use the included jumpers to accommodate my single-wire Exact Express Flame cables. Since to my mind midrange/tweeter are fussier than bass, my main entry were their terminals. Qualio thoughtfully terminate their jumpers in spades on one end, bananas on the other. We're fine either way.

Toed-in face on as I prefer most speakers…

… shortly after I had sound.

And yes, IQ30 is rather broader of shoulder than the outgoing stable mate. The satin white finish made that less hulking than darker wood veneer would.

With my extra IQ allocation administered, how much smarter did I feel?
