Q Acoustics 3020i Black-QA3526

I'd been debating upgrading my terrible sounding home stereo but I'd find myself thinking I don't listen to enough music, and then I thought, hey wait a minute.... So I did some research. Lots. Ended up getting a pair of Q Acoustics 3020i Bookshelf speakers. The difference between these and my old Boston Acoustics was amazing! The old ones had a kind of harsh, muddy sound - just awful. The Q Acoustics are smooth and easy to listen to and very clear - in fact I heard stuff on these I had never heard before on records Id been listening to for 20, 30, 40 years. (Even using Spotify!) There is a hard to describe 3 dimensional quality to the sound from these. Pretty broad response high to low, seemingly without any hyped frequencies. In my set-up I've got a little subwoofer that gives it a little extra oomph. I just use a touch of it. (I wish the live sound mixing guys would use just a tad.) I listened to: Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels on a Gravel Road Tom Petty - Wildflowers Pat Metheny - Are You Going With Me? Bill Frisell - Surfer Gurl Pink Floyd - Breathe Donald Fagen - New Frontier (classic track live sound guys often use to tune a room) Shawn Colvin - A Few Small Repairs The drums sound amazing. I hear the stick hit the low tom and the sound of the drum room. Guitars sound incredible as well. Acoustics feel like you're sitting right in front of them. A Tele on the Lucinda track sounds like my Deluxe Reverb is in the room. Vocals are fantastic - full and clear but not strident. Little parts like mandolins, background guitar parts, Wurlitzer, and subtle B3 notes are so present - still low in the mix but way more easy to hear. Nice musical bass - full but not boomy or thumpy. The stereo image is really great. The speakers seem to really shine on some pleasing frequencies that get left out of a lot of current systems found in cars or Bluetooth portables, ear buds, Google and Amazon virtual assistants. I should've done this a long time ago. It's super inspiring to listen to music on these speakers.

I bought a pair of these and AB'ed them against a pair of Pioneer SPBS22-LR speakers. Both are wired connections. The Q's are a little more efficient than the Pioneers, and they sound a little brighter. But the sound quality, as judged subjectively by me, are very similar. I kept the Pioneers (because they match other speakers), but I thought the Q's were just the slightest bit better. If you are buying these speakers to listen to music from a stereo source and you don' intend to turn up the sound to loud levels you will be well served by these speakers. The size of the speakers preclude a powerful base function, and if loud's the thing you would need a sub to supplement them. The Q's are recommended to people setting up a good quality stereo system - say with a Denon DP300 turntable. If I were to describe the sound of these speakers in one word that word would be "accurate." I listened to them with a variety of music and found that they don't color the music. The speakers (I bought the black ones) are very attractive and well made. I found that the grill covers were clumsy, as they magnetically attach to the cabinet. But that might make them more easily replaceable too. Overall, for the price asked these speakers will satisfied most people.

Excellent quality, great sound. A friend owned five of these for his home theater and I was so impressed with the quality that I purchased the same set. I am not disappointed. They sound much better than the Bose speakers we had previously. I also like the magnetic grills. I do wish they installed more threaded bosses to allow more flexible mounting options, but that's a small nit-pick compared to the price/performance you get. Instead of focusing on expensive marketing it seems like this British company focuses on quality and keeping prices reasonable. The mounts you can purchase seperately were disappointing but the Q speakers are exceptional. I highly recommend them.

Don't think twice , just buy it. Simply connect with some powerful amp and listen to the results.

Enceintes impressionnantes pour leur taille et à ce prix. Finesse, rondeur du son, couplées à un ampli audio Onkyo je redécouvre le plaisir de la Hi-Fi Bluffé

Diese Boxen sind es! Gemeinsam mit einem WIM Amp einfach grandios. Das Ganze SONOS Theater bleibt nun einfach aus. Der Sound ist richtig klar und trotzdem individuell anpassbar. Genau so muss es sein.

Very good sound from those relatively small speakers !
