    Speaker advice

    Hello Dieter W Firstly, thank for considering Q Acoustics loudspeakers. Secondly, the Concept 20 model is a perfect match with the Arcam A19 amplifier. Arcam have kindly lent us an A19 and an A49 and we use them all the time to show off our speakers at shows and to visitors to our offices...

    MUON KEF VS Q ACOUSTICS 3050?

    We love this type of comparison because we really can't lose. Needless to say, our Q Acoustics 3050 (£500 pr.) loudspeakers sounded exactly the same as Kef's Muon (£140,000 pr.) model - when heard via our television speakers

    Q Acoustics 3050 suitable for my old set up?

    Hello mrbthebarber Many thanks for considering Q Acoustics 3050 loudspeakers. We agree with davedotco If you audition the 3050 at home, please take some time to correctly adjust and lock the floor spikes. It makes a huge difference to the sound you'll hear. Please never use the rubber spike...

    Tannoy XT6f, Monitor audio Silver 6 or Kef R500 for metal? Or the cheaper Q acoustics 3050?

    Hello Loneranger, I know you might think it a bit odd that we suggest you save quite a lot of money - and end up with a speaker that delivers precisely the sound you're looking for. From your description of what you want, we think the Q Acoustics 3050 speaker will be ideal. Amongst it's many...

    Q Acoustics 3020 bass questions

    Hello Tibor, Many thanks for considering Q Acoustics loudspeakers. You will have seen from _every_ review that the 3020 delivers an excellent bass response for a standmount speaker. Its published frequency response down to 64Hz is within +/- 3db and measured in an anechoic chamber. In a real...

    Soundbases / soundbars

    Hi Allan6 It may be that you merely have to configure your TV, via the set-up menu, to only send PCM Stereo signals from its optical output.

    Q Acoustics BT3 Review

    "I think it's worth adding the following to anyone wondering about buying the BT3. If I paid £209 and bought the QED cable, I would have been extatic with the BT3." Thanks for choosing the Q Acoustics BT3 best regards Steve Reichert

    Or of course you could try the universally acclaimed, and twice What Hi-Fi award winner, Q Acoustics M4 Soundbar. (Soundbar & Soundbase 'Product of the Year' 2014 and 2015). Apologies if it's not expensive enough :) http://www.whathifi.com/q-acoustics/media-4/review Best regards Steve...

    Recommend me a all-in-one soundbar please :)

    I know we're biased, but we have to disagree with the sweeping statement that all soundbars with a built-in subwoofer are terrible. Our Q Acoustics M4 has a built-in subwoofer and, if we say so ourselves, is rather good. It's also received universal acclaim, including What Hi-Fi?s Soundbar...

    Speaker stands for KEF LS50

    We can only agree. The Concept 20 speaker stands (with four small 'peas' of blu-tack on each stand) are a perfect match for the KEF LS50. Best Regards Q Acoustics

    Q Acoustics Concept 20 + Pioneer A-50 ??

    It clearly isn't 'necessary' to purchase the matching Concept 20 stands - but I would highly recommend it. The Concept 20 speaker, in common with every other stand mount design, will work best on a very good speaker stand. The Concept 20 stand is an incredibly good speaker stand. So, not...

    Q Acoustics Concept 20 + Pioneer A-50 ??

    The very simple and straightforward answer is YES! The Q Acoustics Concept 20 loudspeaker will match very well with the Pioneer A-50 amplifier. Best regards Steve Reichert - Armour Home ( Q Acoustics)

    Upgrading Speakers - Request for Advice

    Hello Ken, Firstly, thank you for considering the Q Acoustics 3050 loudspeakers. I see from your posts that you have decided to purchase the Tannoy model, so I wasn't sure whether or not I should get involved. The DC6T SE is a very good loudspeaker and very good value value at £400. I'm sure...

    audio cable ...help

    Hello everyone, I naively didn't expect this thread to go on for so long - silly me . A number of posts ask questions about QED's design procedures and controls, which I'd like to clarify. (1) Does QED undertake quality control in the far east? Yes, QED conducts vigorous product testing and...

    audio cable ...help

    Hello Mrcrazer Thanks for expressing an interest in QED cables. All QED's research and development takes place in the UK. Every cable is completely designed by QED and nothing is 'off the shelf'. All the cables are then manufactured for us in China. They are made to the highest possible...
