Brand: Q Acoustics

#130 Q Acoustics 3020c: $519.00 per pair Amazon $519.00 eBay

Older model: the Q Acoustics 3020i (ranked lower, rated 2.4/5). See every Q Acoustics 3000 Series generation.

Same family: the Q Acoustics 3010c (smaller bookshelf, ranked higher, estimated 3.4/5), the Q Acoustics 3030c (larger bookshelf, ranked higher, estimated 3.8/5), the Q Acoustics 3050c (floorstanding, estimated 4.2/5) and the Q Acoustics 3090c (center, estimated 3.5/5).

Pros: A compact bookshelf speaker that is easy to drive from a small amplifier, offered in four finishes. Two-way bass reflex design with a 120mm (4.75”) Continuous Curved Cone woofer and a 22mm soft dome tweeter crossed over at 2.6kHz. Q Acoustics rates sensitivity at 87dB, easy to drive from a 25W amplifier, and response at 60Hz to 30kHz (-6dB). Four finishes.

Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers. Minimum impedance drops to 3.7 ohms, and rated bass stops at 60Hz (-6dB), so plan on a subwoofer for full-range listening. It costs noticeably more than the Q Acoustics 3020i it replaces.
