Q Acoustics 3030i Bookshelf Speaker Pair

I bought these after reading a bunch of reviews. My expectations weren't too high and I was not looking at top of the line kind of stuff. I was pleasantly surprised. First off these do need some break-in. Out of the box and paired with a Sonos amp they seemed a little bright, though bass was excellent. Midrange was okay. I did play with the base and treble a bit. However, as I kept using it for the next 7 days the sound mellowed/warmed and I actually increased treble as brightness toned down. Eventually, I am super pleased with the purchase. I am using these with the Amp in combo with a Sonos Arc surround system in a single group and tonally they are in perfect balance with the rest of the Sonos speakers. Both movies and music sound awesome and detailed with this combo setup. Movie vocals are clear, especially with the Dolby Atmos movies where conversation can be too low. The speakers render a wide and detailed Soundstage missing with just a soundbar. The soundbar adds body to the sound. If I am nitpicking, I'd say that the upper midrange has a slight gap(which the Sonos Arc actually fills in for me). Finally the speakers look good in my living room without the grilles and my wife appreciates them as well!

I held off writing a review until I had plenty of time to let these burn in. After 30 hours, I can confidently say that these are the best 'bookshelf' speakers out there for the money.My main setup is a McIntosh 225 with a PS Audio preamp, Thorens TD215 and AT cartridge. I have a Philips CD80 for discs and also have the ability to stream via bluetooth. My regular speakers are Dahlquist DQ10s with a Jamo powered sub.I was looking for a small alternative for another room, so I disconnected the sub, and listened to these by themselves. Wow. Great imaging and sound staging. Transparent highs and mids and surprisingly good bass response for such a small speaker.I threw a wide variety of source material at them. Tori Amos, Yo Yo Ma, Andrea Bocelli, all sounded amazing. Moved on to Florence +the Machine, William Elliott Whitmore, Dire Straits even some One Republic. Over the course of all the testing, I only found them to be lacking in super deep bottom end. A sub would help out in the <60hz but so little of my music requires it.In summary, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Great speakers, great value, and very attractive cabinets.

Aún así tengo que decir que aún es temprano para evaluar estas bocinas ya que sé por experiencia que las bocinas nuevas hay que durar un tiempo trabajandolas para lograr la expansión de los metales y que den su sonido real, hasta ahora todo bien, son lindas, son potentes, dan un sonido claro, pero suenan un poco duro principalmente del lado de los medios y los agudos vamos a darle un par de meses adicionales antes de dar una evaluación y una opinión definitiva.

Very nice speakers! Easy to listen to without being too bright or fatiguing. Nice mid-range and good bass for its size. Well designed and Impeccable finish. And I should mention that Q Acoustics has first-rate customer service. Highly recommended!

Well made, good sounding, quality speakers

This speaker is an absolute match made in heaven for my Marantz PM7000n. It's full of body and the sound stage is so wide. The first song these heard was Eddy Money Shakin.....oh my goodness. You could hear every note, so very musical. They are perfect right out of the box, I can't imagine how they can improve with breaking in. The 3030i is an absolute winner - buy a pair now. You'll love them!

The soundstage is wonderful even for nearfield listening. Even with a Class D amplfier it doesnt disappoint, these are a very easy listen

I bought these for my computer and paired them with a Creative X7 amplifier. I couldn't believe how loud these speakers are for their size. They look great and some amazing.Bass is solid and punchy, and also room filling, and the highs are crisp and clear. I haven't seen a lot at this price point that if on this level.Only negative- the white veneer has several imperfections on the speakers, like make the surface wasn't prepped all the way before it was covered.Overall, I still recommend the speakers
