Q Acoustics3030i Bookshelf Speakers Pair English Walnut - Featuring 2-way Reflex Enclosure Type, 165mm (6.5") Bass Driver, and 22mm (0.9") Tweeter - Stereo Speakers Hifi/Passive Speakers

Don't judge these speakers over the first few hours. Run them in gently for a few days and THEN, the result will be fantastic. Clear, precise, lively, and deep bass. I have coupled a pair of these (3030) to my Denon amplifier, in the context of a mid-range home cinema, along with some JBL speakers as front center and surrounds. In a room of 25 square meters. Works like a dream, no need for a subwoofer anymore. They are 15cm away from the wall, you probably need no less than that without foam, as they can deliver deep bass. And be aware of their unsual depth. If you can accomodate these constraints, for the dimensions and the price (which is quite reasonable), I suspect it will be difficult to find better if not match them...great product.

I bought these to replace a pair of bookshelf speakers which I found way too bright and more often than not, found myself turning the music off (they were just too small).The Q Acoustics are a world apart. They are large for bookshelf speakers and that's what I wanted, delivering a sound with plenty of warmth and authority with a really good balance between bass, mid range and highs. I have them paired with an Arcam SA10 amplifier and I'm happy listening to music again.I'm no expert audiophile, just someone who loves music and enjoys a warm sound that has some "clout" (not an audiophile term!). If, like me, you find the analytical, bright sound of a lot of speakers wearing, you may well appreciate these. For the price, you would go a long way to better these speakers.

Great pair of speakers straight out of the box. Can’t wait to hear these improve as they run in and open up. I’ve been buying hifi for nearly 30 years and having reresurected my 90s amp earlier in the year I needed to pair with a decent set of bookshelf speakers that worked well with my Cyrus amp and rega turntable. Over the course of the year I have probably purchased in excess of 10 pairs of speakers in my quest to get the sound I wanted. I kept on purchasing the same kind of sized bookshelves from the likes of Cyrus, Dali, b and w, elac, mission to name but a few but of course apart from a few subtle nuances to me all sounded the same and lacked the overall soundstage and depth of sound so I paired all of these with a quality subwoofer which helped but the sound wasn’t cohesive. Back in the 90s I never used a sub for hifi and was always extremely happy with the sound and bass extension was always plentiful and never lacking. I decided to give it one more shot and decided to try the 3030s. Having already tried the smaller 3020 which were surprisingly good but again lacked the bottom end I thought maybe I just need to try a bigger more substantial bookshelf before I went all out and purchased some floorstanders. Now to give an idea back in the day I had a full Cyrus set up with psxrs and separate power amps powering a pair of linn kan mk 2 and to me the sound was sublime. The cost of trying to purchase a pair of kan mk1 or II these days is ridiculous and as much as I loved them I could not justify that kind of outlay on such an old pair of speakers hence the ordeal I have been through this year till now.Well the 3030s from the box have finally satisfies my quest for the sound I was looking for. Larger speakers with a huge bass driver taken from the bigger floor standing brother. They sound fantastic straight from the box and can’t wait until they run in and open up. Excellent bass extension which is tight and a wonderful open mid range and sweet top end without being shrill. Superb soundstage. Take time with placement and positioning. I don’t like using the foam bungs as for me this boxes in the sound and they sound restricted. I have a very heavy and solid unit they stand on but I think I will purchase the stands and this will make them sound even better. All in all a superb set of well Made and atttractive speakers made even more attractive by the deal I got on them. I will add that the delivery service from Sevenoaks has been superb and they arrived earlier than expected. Take the plunge. Don’t hang around like I did. They are a superb fine pair of speakers that belie their price tag and will flourish with decent amplification and would not be out of place with a modern amp even over the £1000 price bracket. Superb. I am one happy bunny !!

After reading all the reviews, I decided to buy the speakers. What a great choice. It was perfect for my set up sound absolutely brilliant amazing would definitely recommend 🔊🔊👍

War sehr skeptisch am Anfang und jeder hört ja anders oder hat andere Vorzüge.Im Wohnzimmer betreibe ich paar Martin Logan mit einem ASR Ermitter Plus...Das ich die nicht vergleichen darf ist klar, da liegen auch Welten finanziell dazwischen.Sie sind angeschlossen an einem Advance Paris MyConnect 60 und QED Lautsprecherkabel.Sie spielen in einem normalen 20qm Raum in einem Regal erstmal, aber denke da ich positiv überrascht bin bekommen sie noch passende Ständer und auch um noch was klanglich zu optimieren.Ob Klassik oder 180ppm sie spielen in der kombi sehr neutral und feinfühlig..stimmen klingen Hammer präzise...der 16 lautsprecher ist noch zu steif und denke so ab 200h wird er auch feiner kommen...Man muss immer den Preis sehen und dafür machen sie einfach einen guten Job in der Kombi...Klar gibt es immer was besseres, aber dann sollte der Rest auch hochpreisig sein.Kann ich absolut empfehlen.
