I have a pair of Q Acoustics 3030i on the matching stands and although lacking a bit at the top end, the bass is quite full and deep. On some tracks, there is too much bass and I sometimes wish I'd bought the 3020i model. I owned a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 230 floorstanders, but sold them, as they were far too bass heavy, for the size of my living room. I had them away from walls and corners, as much as the space allowed, but they had a very annoying upper bass sound, that killed the music. I hate that upper bass region and it's so difficult to get speakers to work, in a typical sized living room, without producing these bass frequencies. Most normal sized speakers seem to create nodes, in the 60 to 200Hz region and it's a pain. I can't afford Dirac correction and there's not much I can do with the living room furnishings. It's not just the speaker volume to consider, but the crossover point and the associated impedance curve. I think many speakers are designed to have a lower impedance, in the upper bass region, to make them sound more 'impressive' and give the illusion of a bigger sound, with more bass. It's always been quality over quantity for me and I'm still trying to find a pair of floorstanders, which give a quick, clean and detailed sound, even a bright sound, without that honking upper bass thump. It's so annoying. My old KEF Q35.2 floorstanders broke, many years ago and I wish I could get another new pair of those. They were the best speakers I've ever heard and were 91dB also. Bass should be quick and textured and underpin music, not overwhelm and dominate it. I don't understand why people are obsessed with a full, warm bass sound. It's not a good thing, unless you are trying to reproduce the sound of droning car engines, sat outside your window. My QA speakers sound OK, most of the time and I do prefer them to the big Wharfedales I had a few years ago. I read many good things about Harbeth speakers and I can imagine how they sound. These speakers are outside my price range, so I will have to wait until a cheaper alternative arrives. I think I will have to stick with standmounts, screwed into stands. Anything really, without that upper bass reinforcement.
