    Currently have the Q Acoustics concept 50's on demo at home, will I finally change the 753's?

    Hi listened to the Evo 4.4 's, focal 926, and most importantly direct a-b testing against my mission 753's, build is superb but most importantly I just sit back forget about the speakers and enjoy the music. The concept 30s are meant to be amazing, well worth a home demo if possible as if they...

    Imho they are special, but like you I was struggling to home demo. And there was no way I could commit to that sort of investment without hearing it with my system in my room. Luckily richer sounds in Bournemouth were able to assist, and to them I am very thankful.

    I don't blame you, in answer to your questions on initial listening the vocals on the 753 were a bit more forward, like you mentioned the vocals are exceptional but with Q's they are slightly less obvious but have more depth, but the bass is so deep and controlled and the mid range is stellar...

    Quick update I, well my credit card at least, have gone ahead and purchased the Concept 50's, after a 2 week home demo I love them, the TV has not been on! Took the 1st week just listening to them in there own right, having owned the 753's from new I needed time to adjust to something new, they...
