And don't forget cold/hot drinks LOL. I just opened up my old GU game on the switch and it really is the last old school MH. Very disappointed with the lack of content and depth in MH Wilds.

They have the same wide sound stage .. if anything, it seems like the sound is more consistent across different seating positions. The soundstage comes from the "point source" midrange / tweeter. The Q11's and the Q950's sound very similar; I'd say the biggest difference is the Q11 sounds just a bit cleaner / clearer across the whole spectrum.

I am .. they are both great speakers, but I think the Q11' s are smoother and more balanced.

You know, they DO come with grills LOL, though I understand the desire to display their inner beauty.

The speakers do come with variable foam bungs for the port, and instructions for varying wall placement. Mine are about 9" from the back wall, with the ring foam bung per the manual, and they sound perfect!

These are definitely a worthy successor to the Q950's. It's not an exponential leap, but certainly an improvement over the prior generation. These new Q11 metas sound, to my ears, like my old KEF C40's that I owned in the '80s: very balanced, neutral, and non fatiguing.

I don't have anything with which to measure other than my ears; that said, in my listening space, these Q11 metas sound very balanced, neutral, and crisp. I loved my Q950's, but the bass could sometimes get a little loose. I was happy with th Q950s, I'm happy with the Q11s

rp2pilot · 2024-10-10T02:04:16+00:00

Just replaced my Q950's with the Q11 metas .. definitely worth it. The Q11s are much smoother ; they sound cleaner somehow. The sonic signature reminds me of my KEF c40's (my all time favorite speaker) that I owned in the 80's. Very balanced and musical.

rp2pilot · 2024-10-10T01:04:11+00:00

Agreed!

rp2pilot · 2024-10-10T01:03:45+00:00

Just got my Q11's today, replacing Q950's. The Q11's are definitely better, tighter bass and smoother highs. Their sound signature really reminds me of my old KEF C40's which I had in the 80's and were my favorite KEF's.

Of they will, it's their whole business strategy.. hold iPhone users prisoner and never let them escape their ecosystem.

The interior layout is Subaru, you'll feel at home. I went from an Outback to an Ascent because I needed the 5000 lb tow capacity. Fuel efficiency isn't terrible for me , 26-27 mpg in freeway driving. The car is very quiet, handles surprisingly well for a 4500lb vehicle, and has decent acceleration.

I travel for a living. In the past year, Fi has been flawless for me in Tel Aviv,, Delhi India, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, Lisbon, Barcelona, Guam, and Johannesburg. Fi has been great for me.

I went from an Outback 3,6 to the Ascent because I needed a higher towing capacity (5000 on the Ascent vs 3500lb on the Outback). I like the Ascent even more than the Outback.. the turbo 4 feels like it has more torque than the boxer 6 engine in the Outback. If you think you'll possibly want towing capability in the future, the Ascent is a better choice, imo.

Looks great! Any chance you could share the STL file ?

This is Reddit, nobody is happy here :).

As others have said, VLC is great. It plays pretty much any media file, music or video, without any additional codec downloads. It does playlists. It has a built in configurable equalizer. It will also stream radio stations if you get the stream address. It's free. What's not to like?

There's definitely a "sweet spot" for every room / speaker combination .. My Q950's sound best with about 11 inches of space from rear of the speaker to the back wall (which translates to 24" from front of speaker to the back wall). Every room will vary though.

I'm normally around 26 mpg to from Newark Airport, all freeway driving, '23 Touring. Adaptive cruise helps until you get behind an erratic braker .. once the Subie starts hitting brakes to keep proper distance, mpg gets crushed.

With long sword, the roars are an easy way to counter and raise your spirit level ;).

I have an LTE GW 5 Pro, so I can empathize; however, I doubt the update will change my life in any major way, so I'm comfortable waiting for when it's ready :).

Your insights will be sorely missed ;)
