The Prestige Three would go on to become QLN’s most critically acclaimed model, establishing the brand as a worldwide phenomenon with a strong reputation for designing world class loudspeakers. After a remarkable 7-year run, the time has come to improve upon this classic design. The fundamentals of physics do not change over time, but we do continue learning and find better solutions even with a mature design like that of the Prestige Three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column_3  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_4  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor the second generation of Prestige Three we have made the following improvements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgraded cabinet design with real dual layer Qboard®\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew 6dB first-order crossover design\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew cable design with improved isolation\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew adjustable feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe secret to the Qln sound is to make all parts play together. All parts in a speaker have their own character. There is no 100% perfect component even if marketing material leads you to believe so. It’s about physical knowledge of material behavior coupled with extended listening tests that help you discover performance variables that are not measurable. Over the years we have developed an encyclopedia of material knowledge and the characteristics of different products that we apply when designing new speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt all starts with material knowledge, followed by measurements and extensive listening tests. We live with the speaker for 6-12 months to carefully evaluate changes and solidify the design.
