#72 Q Acoustics 3030i: $549 per pair Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the Q Acoustics 3030c, estimated 3.8/5.
Pros: A two-way standmount with a 6.5” woofer and 0.9” tweeter in a braced cabinet, rated at 88dB. The only Spinorama data, digitized from a third-party chart, shows a listening window within 2.3dB from 300Hz to 5kHz and low on-axis deviation (0.44), with bass to 69.0Hz (-3dB) and about 41Hz (-10dB). Preference score 4.97, rising to 7.28 with an ideal subwoofer. Measured bass extension of 69.0Hz (-3dB).
Cons: That measurement is low quality, so the details are less certain than a full Klippel or anechoic test. Directivity is only average (3.29dB directivity index deviation). Replaced by the 3030c. Discontinued.
How it compares: Just above it: Technics SB-C700 - $1150 more, 3Hz lower bass extension (-3dB). Just below it: JBL L82 Classic MkII - $2641 more.
