q acoustics 2020i vs other award winning speakers..

[suresh babu]

dear friends,

i have marantz pm6004 amplifier and used it with kef q 300 for over years.. now i getting bored with kef and its big size for my smaller room,so decided to shift down to bit small speaker section..

for this i have shortlisted some of award speakers as per my budget limitations here,

1. q acoustics 2020i

2. wharfedale diamond 121

3. dali zensor 1

no other options due to budget and quality reasons..

my favourite is,

1. midrange and meaty clear vocals

( for example , vocals from cambridge audio minx go,i loved it a lot for its uncoloured pure vocals. i must need same type of vocal sound experience from this setup..)

2. no harshness or over eager treble

3. engagging to listen full songs.

among those speakers , which one will be best for my taste?

i dont need very big sound or party like sound , just enough sound with clear vocals without harsh

thanks

I am an owner of the 2020i speakers and they are just stunning for the money. Vocals are very clear (just like the rest of the music) and they are never harsh sounding. I had a fair amount of speakers in the past but these are keepers. Build quality is also a real step up from most budget speakers........

I've read some comments from people that they are hard to drive but my Pioneer A-30 amp (40 watts @ 8ohm) drives them without any problems.

IMO you can't go wrong with these

What is boring you about the sound? Also, have you considered second hand? Otherwise I'd see if you can audition those 3 speakers. I'd imagine most dealers would have that amp knocking around somewhere for you to use (Or simply take your own).

I preferred the Dalis over the Wharfedales, I felt they had greater clarity, especially in the high-mids and had a gloriously wide open soundstage, although the Wharfedales weren't far behind and offered a touch more bass. I've not heard the 2020i but have heard lots of positive things said.
