Q acoustics 3050i or wharfedale 230

[muljao]

Has anyone heard both of these. I like the q acoustics (2020i) sound with my marantz pm6006. I'm going for a second set up in a bigger harder to fill room. I reckon the 3050i will do the job but my budget much prefers the wharfedale at the moment. Anyone have any input. Thanks

I'm in ireland. The second hand market here is almost non existent. Ebay generally won't ship anything this big.

it's not normally eBay that does the shipping its the seller.
who knows.....
There is a pair going at the moment for £280 if you could arrange your own courier. No idea how much that would be though.

Thanks. What I mean is if your in britain it's expensive to ship here. Most selling large items won't bother. I'll have a look, thanks again

Definitely when I log in to ebay here I don't get the same options. No 3050 in my ebay for less than 500

Odd.

Haggle with your dealer?

I think I'll just go with the q Acoustics. A person once told me you only regret paying more the once

Great value! Interesting that QA still advertise the earlier 3050 model at £100 less than the i model. But here on the mainland the 3050i is often sold for around £549, or £499 for ‘open box’ returns. (I was looking for a friend recently)
