IQ 4180 AT

Today a real treat for lovers of larger dimensions. Today we present a new version, they are definitely the prettiest from all the versions we have made so far. This new version is fundamentally different from the one presented previously, it also has a reinforced back wall with a glued wood panel. Specific IQ floors , a great model in the company's history - on perfect Vifa and Seas transducers.

the floor columns of the German IQ manufacture from the period of its greatest splendor deserve attention, but modest in their classic elegance. The company made amazing cases, well-tuned acoustically, so that this was not enough, they used in their constructions, as a rule, sensational pickups of such powers as Vifa and Seas.

Here we have an example of such a marriage, outstanding carpentry construction and 8 Vifa converters !!

Tweeter: Vifa D 25AG-05-06

Woofer: Vifa M21WO-39-08, 210 mm

Vifa midrange cone D75MX-30-08, 75 mm

So we are dealing with loudspeakers with such drivers as in the exclusive Dali models, only with much better boxes, and we know that the whole thing is important, so why overpay for Dali ... :) They are made as a construction with a mixed solution of bass exposure, where the top with the first bass speaker is a closed design, with an immediate impulse response of the bass. The boxes are divided in a proportion of 2 to 1, in the lower part an acoustic resonator is used, where the bass down from the speaker is generated through a narrow channel and the lower plane through the gap escapes . acoustically ingenious solution, the generated bass is unique, deep and precise at the same time. A great complement to these well-tuned boxes are the transducers! silver alloy with tin, Intertehnik speaker terminals use gold-plated terminals that also accept banana plugs, modernized crossovers, and great new damping. The effects of our moderation can be seen in the attached graphs from our measurement tests.

These great floors have a technically complex structure, the second completely airtight speakers are the iconic midrange and tweeter dome, the third one is a second bass speaker, this chamber is a partially open structure, a TL- resonator is used

It is an extremely effective solution that spectacularly exposes the dynamics of the reproduced bass and also reconciles opponents of different ways of using the bass exposure used in the constructions by the manufacturers, the bass in this solution is a kind of a hybrid of two sounds - they can also be placed next to the wall, perfect attenuation of the boxes, thick installation cables and more solid gaskets under the speakers than other models.

POWERFUL 180 W MUSIC POWER! In my opinion, a very interesting speaker system, in configuration with every Pioneer from the 70s, they play with a mature, natural, unforced sound, it is a pity that they do not produce such for normal money ... :)

The grilles are in perfect condition. The floor pads have been suppressed again with acoustic pyramid foam for 20 years of service life. The set is listened to on the Sansui 890 db, and the Pioneer SX-750 to control the flooring for a change with less power. At the beginning we started with easy Yello music , we felt their power of sound. In order to get to know the sound of this configuration as much as possible, we then reached for the album of a brilliant musician and multi-instrumentalist. Marcus Miller, because we are talking about him here, in 2005 released the album "Silver Rain". It is a work steeped in the genius of this artist, who was both a producer, arranger and co-creator of the sound production. The sound of this disc is a real challenge for speaker constructions. To faithfully reproduce Miller's extremely energizing bass playing, you need a construction with great possibilities and huge resolution. The bass guitar sounds simply amazing on this set. Complex arrangements full of flavors and electronic inclusions resound with incredible lightness and freedom. There is no question of any "mess." All instruments are in the right place and have their specific mass. Female vocal that appears in several places on the album is very realistic and pleasant. Listening to such recordings, it is not surprising that Marcus Miller became a close associate of the great Miles Davis. You can even wonder if the infamous Miles Davis "TUTU" album from 86 is not the work under which Marcus Miller should also sign. This is the first version, the best, the later version of MKII did not have a sensational textile midrange dome reproducing outstanding vocal Powerful dynamics, precision of sound and beautiful execution of glued wood in exotic veneer!

To sum up - outstanding, totally complementary, even higher monumental amplification for a demanding listener, I recommend it.

Large and extremely neatly made boxes. The midrange and tweeters are separated from both bass sections. In addition, the midrange speakers are separated by special chambers, thanks to which the pressure from powerful bass speakers has no effect on their operation. This has a positive effect on the transparency of the message and dynamic sound .. The set has been extremely carefully restored. They have received a new multilayer oil coating in an extremely fashionable color. For years, the set impresses with its novelty in design. Impressive INTERTECHNIK crossovers, very solid internal wiring, Intertechnik speaker terminals with gold-plated speaker terminals, also accepting banana plugs. Each speaker set from this brand that comes out of our studio surprises with its perfect performance and uncompromising monumental energizing sound it is also this time. Great music scene and detail.

We have our own, extensive, autonomous service. We prepare audio equipment competently and professionally, while loudspeaker sets intended for comprehensive revitalization are dismantled into prime factors: for empty boxes, including dismantling of switches, all components are electronically measured and mechanically checked, so the condition of all transducers, crossovers, overall overall is always perfect and cabinet-ready at the time of assembly. We approach the customer and equipment very fundamentally and with great respect. I made the first serious speaker set over 40 years ago - we do not allow ourselves in our selected team of specialists with the highest qualifications for absolutely no compromises in terms of quality. If speaker suspensions or diaphragms require maintenance or replacement, we always make it obligatory !!! Without writing about it all the time, they are after all devices with mechanical elements that have been working for several decades. Our efforts are aimed at making them work for the next several decades. Each equipment we sell is also specifically checked and listened to for a long time the last time just before the sale and possible shipment - the quality of which we are also very well known and appreciated.
