From the workshops of Q…

In an old land like the United Kingdom, full of famous, longstanding loudspeaker brands, you’d think that it’d be hard for a newcomer to find any space. But Q Acoustics managed it, starting up only a dozen years ago, and since receiving accolade upon accolade, as well as widespread consumer acceptance. It has carefully targeted the mid-priced, high quality segment (it was filling a perceived vacuum left by Mission when it first emerged,), and here we have the ‘i’ upgrading of the 3000 series, its second-from-the-top range. This Q Acoustics 3050i is the largest speaker from that series, its only floorstander.

Equipment

So, yes, these are stereo floorstanding speakers priced at just under $1400 for the pair. That makes them quite affordable, yet they exude a sense of quality just from their styling. They stand just over a metre tall. The enclosures have curved edges where the sides meet the top and bottom panels.
