lots are pushing the Q Acoustics are they really that good?

hadnt realised the Picos were sub use , hmmmm scratch them of the list then

Yes, Q Acoustics are really that good. I'm currently enjoying 2020i with a Yamaha A-S501, and its a very enjoyable and involving combination. I'm not feeling any desire to get my Dynaudio or Rega speakers out instead at this stage.

so the 3020 would be a good choice on the Yamaha AS 301? Shame all the sound reviews on YouTube are either poor quality or sound highly clinical

Just to quality my earlier comment... The Qs are terrific budget speakers, and with something like the A-S301, or A-S501, they are as good as needed. However, my findings from playing around with my kit today, are that once you move up to something like a Rega Brio-R for the amp, the benefits of better speakers like the Dynaudio DM2/6 are very clear as they reveal far more of the upgrade in the electronics than the Qs are able to.

im not sure the q's would cut it after todays tunes, the Sonys struggled big style, there ok with Rock, but "get up" - korn ft.skrillex almost parted the cones , the sound was awful , even compared to the same speaker on its orginal equipment !!!

Soulfly - wings, flyhigh just didnt cut it either was just a muddle of noise, ive heard max and crew live so i know what these are meant to sound like LOL

going to try Casulties of Cool later see if it has the drama , emotion of Che Amiee Dorval's voice.

Speakers purchased Monitor Audio BX1 , did want a huge speaker and these will fit the bill, and Durand new boxed with 5yr warranty £110 , so I've bought some QED cable and connectors to match .

roll on Wednesday / Thursday
