Hello!

Due to a lack of space, I'm getting rid of some speakers and wondering which pair of bookshelf speakers I should keep:
NHT absolute zero (released 2010). Info: https://www.nhthifi.com/downloads
or
Q Acoustics 3010 (Not 3010i. Released 2015). Info: https://www.qacoustics.co.uk/pages/brochures-manuals

If they're basically equally good, then I think I'd prefer the NHT Absolute Zeros, since:
- I'm also getting rid of 2xQ2010 and 1xQ2000C so selling these as a package with Q3010 could be nice
- The NHT Absolute Zeros are already mounted

Opinions?

Thank you!

Edit: although when writing this I realize there's no reason to believe Q3010 is the worse pair (except for a relative's praise for them)
 
I like the QA series 3000 and own a pair of later ones. If you’re in the UK there are regularly pairs for sale on eBay, so you’d get a good idea of what’s achievable. Tick Sold and Completed items in the filter.

The NHT seem to be your preference, so good luck with your sale.

Thank you for your very helpful and friendly replies, really appreciate it!

I’m new to hi-fi so not sure what to keep in mind. I guess you’re completely right that it simply depends on which ones I like, personally 🙂
