People are preferring qacoustics over Andrew Jones made speakers these days.. I don't know what is going on...btw I am actually upgrading to qacoustics 3010i for more accuracy bass and less vibration, noise etc...am I correct to do so? Pls reply, I didn't find much(3010i vs spbs22) on this topic on the net.I understand that you mean amplifiers but I don't use class A or class ab amp...so if you could suggest any better class d amplifier it would be great help.
Is it possible for you to demo the 3010I in your place? if yes, please take the amp with you.
There's going to be a difference but not really much of an upgrade - 3010i's are VFM entry level speakers and perform as such. In order to really "feel" the upgrade, i would suggest going with a 6.5 inch bookshelf - something like the Mission QX-2, or at the very least, the Wharfedale Diamond 12.1.
I use the upgraded 48v/5A supply and thermals are well under check - warm to the touch but no overheating whatsoever.
Pretty darn good for the price as long as you don't expect them to punch way above their weight. Dynamics are very good and being monoblocks, stereo separation and imaging are excellent and they project a wide soundstage. The mids and refinement also leave nothing to complain about though you'll find better if you spend a good deal more money - in my experience, that would be my CXA81, Wilsenton R8 and R800i but the comparison is a bit unfair. They also come with a 48V 5a PSU right out of the box. I daresay you'll be pleased as a punch with their performance.
