Q Acoustics 3020i Bookshelf Speaker Review

This is a review and detailed measurements of the Q Acoustics 3020i bookshelf speaker. It was kindly purchased new by a member and drop shipped to me. It costs US $315 from Amazon including free shipping. It is so hard for companies to differentiate themselves with budget speakers but Q...

Vocals will be subdued because of the dip in frequency response.
I personally wouldn't buy this speaker.

Try to lay your hands on Focal Chorus 706 & 700cc. I have these hooked to the 2600 in our living room. Good for music as well. In fact, I was using the 706v s in my main rig before i upgraded to floorstanders last October. Can't bi-amp these though.

Q acoustics 3050i and 3020i have a dip at the vocal frequencies. ( At the crossover frequency)
Better to look for speakers for which you can find response graphs as that's what which really matters.(Based on more than 6 decades of research)

Subjective reviews are "subjective".

Ooh okay, so you think upgrading from my Aj's to them wont make any difference

Difference will always be there as they dont measure the same. But whether you like the imperfection more over the better engineering is a totally subjective thing. Since we have no choice to listen to the artist,s studio, most of the time we end up getting the sound whihc pleases us with thr one or two tracks we test on it. My upgrade path if I am starting with aj would be AJ -> Debut Reference - > Kef R3 -> ME Geithain RL 901K

Subjective reviews are "subjective".

Subjective reviews are too non standardised that its really not a good idea to keep them as your basis of selection. Different people/different idea or ideal sound/different hearing/different rooms/different state of mind while listening/ prejudices/biases/inexperiences/ego/pride...the list goes on...

Yes the new one from elac. Think its not yet available.

Happy to see someone on same page

Considering your budget is strictly 75k,
Elac debut 2.0, 5.2
Q acoustic 3050i
Fyne Audio F303
Diamond 240
Diamond 11.3
In that order.

Going for used deals if you have the option or maybe unboxed, you can perhaps even get your hands on a concept 40 for around that price.

Look at Elac debut 6.2 towers.

 

[dannyarcher]

I have Q3050i + Q3090ci with Denon 1400H. It's superb. The towers have great reviews anyway. But, special mention to the centre channel.. It's really good.

 

[sujithblaze]

Elac seems to be low on sensitivity, but even they are designed by AJ,so they should sound superb,i am looking for bright speakers i guess,since the Pioneer's were neutral,how abt the oberon 5 where would u guys place them in the above list.

Hey Prateek. Can you please elaborate on the dip ?
How does one rectify this? If it is a longer discussion -- will ping you on PM. Don't want to hijack the thread

 

[sujithblaze]

Please do share ur inputs in the thread so that other fm's can also enlighten themselves

The dip is due to the crossover frequency..
Its a pretty lengthy topic...
Check this review.. might get a bit complex.
