Q Acoustics 3030i 50 Watt Speaker (Brown)

Sehr gut verarbeitet und sehr guter Klang

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 !!

Muy buena relación calidad/precio

Audiofilo di vecchia data, negli anni 80 sono passato dalle prime casse Jbl a delle splendide Ess ed infine alle mitiche Esb 7/06 del grande Giussani abbinate ad un Marantz PM75. Suono inconfondibile e per me inarrivabile.Eppure queste Q Acoustics 3030i sono semplicemente sorprendenti.Abbinate ad un AV Yamaha rxv 795a al quale presto affiancherò un ampli stereo 2 vie, mi hanno folgorato per il dettaglio e per i bassi profondi ma mai estremamente prolungati.I medi sono fantastici, presenti e dettagliati. Ad occhi chiusi la chitarra di Pat Metheny sembra che sia lì ad un metro da te quasi a poterla toccare!!Il woofer da 16,5 cm poi fa veramente miracoli!! Bassi belli pieni da diffusori da pavimento. Sarà sicuramente merito del cabinet più profondo di un normale diffusore da scaffare.Io le ho posizionate su degli stand alti 62 cm e secondo me a questa altezza i morbidi tweeter delle 3030i allineati all'altezza della testa rendono al 100% lo spettro musicale dei medio/alti.Che dire di più?? Diffusori meravigliosi, mai stancanti che regalano momenti di pura gioia.Due piccole accortezze, se intendete utilizzare cavi di potenza pari o superiori a 4 mm consiglio di utilizzare le banane, il foro per il cavo spellato probabilmente accetterà cavi fino a 4 mm io uso il Ricable Custom da 2,5 mm e malgrado non ho avuto problemi, siamo già quasi al limite.Il secondo è di fare attenzione al posizionamento, considerando che hanno il foro reflex posteriore richiedono un distanziamento di almeno 40 cm dal muro. Nel mio caso il diffusore di sx è posizionato si a 40 cm dal muro ma verso un angolo e su quel diffusore i bassi sembrano un po' più "presenti".Concludendo, complimenti alla Q acoustics per la costruzione del diffusore, belli da vedere e soprattutto meravigliosi da ascoltare. Straordinari.

I held off writing a review until I had plenty of time to let these burn in. After 30 hours, I can confidently say that these are the best 'bookshelf' speakers out there for the money.My main setup is a McIntosh 225 with a PS Audio preamp, Thorens TD215 and AT cartridge. I have a Philips CD80 for discs and also have the ability to stream via bluetooth. My regular speakers are Dahlquist DQ10s with a Jamo powered sub.I was looking for a small alternative for another room, so I disconnected the sub, and listened to these by themselves. Wow. Great imaging and sound staging. Transparent highs and mids and surprisingly good bass response for such a small speaker.I threw a wide variety of source material at them. Tori Amos, Yo Yo Ma, Andrea Bocelli, all sounded amazing. Moved on to Florence +the Machine, William Elliott Whitmore, Dire Straits even some One Republic. Over the course of all the testing, I only found them to be lacking in super deep bottom end. A sub would help out in the <60hz but so little of my music requires it.In summary, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Great speakers, great value, and very attractive cabinets.
