Full Description

Standmount Loudspeakers £200-£270

"The winner that won't be denied, however, is the truly redoubtable Q Acoustics 3020i, which may not dominate in any one hi-fi metric but puts it all together like no other speaker here to deliver a potent, fully rounded musical experience that will keep you listening."

"Deep in size, deep in sonic analysis, these standmounts will make great first speakers."

The 3000i Series is an evolution of the 3000 Series, which has undergone a number of innovative improvements intended to bring about significant enhancements in both sonic performance and aesthetics from the already established and highly awarded range. Every 3000i Series model is an outstanding, genuine Hi-Fi loudspeaker with models that can also be combined to deliver a fantastic home cinema sound. Beautiful to behold and available in four attractive finishes.

The 3020i is a substantial standmount / bookshelf speaker with 125mm (5 inch) and 22mm (0.9 inch) precision drivers, which can be shelf-mounted on compliant pre-fitted rubber feet, stand-mounted or wall-mounted on dedicated optional stands and brackets. A cabinet as deep as it is high provides the listener with deep powerful bass from as small a frontal area as is possible to achieve.

Foam bungs are provided for the rear-facing ports to help with less than ideal room positioning. The level of bass can be reduced to compensate, but definition and bass extension are increased. Conventional terminal panel cut-outs have been removed, giving greatly improved structural integrity to the enclosures and new low profile binding posts have been incorporated with sockets deep enough to accept 4mm (0.16 inch) banana plugs.

Mid/Bass Driver

Whichever 3000i model you choose the cone is precision formed from impregnated and coated paper and teamed with a newly developed, low-hysteresis, rubber surround. The coated paper cone provides the optimum balance between stiffness and self- damping which means it can accelerate without flexing and stop very accurately without unwanted resonances.

High-Frequency Driver

3000i Series tweeters are decoupled from the baffle via a compliant suspension system. Vibrations from the woofer, which can impair the performance of the tweeter are isolated allowing the tweeter to perform with dramatically reduced interference.

Mounting Options

Dedicated 3000FSi speaker stands and 3000WB wall brackets are available to purchase separately. The wall bracket features tilt and turn capability, while the speaker stands have been designed to specifically fit the 3010i and 3020i speakers. They even bolt to the bottom of the speakers for extra stability.

Point To Point Bracing

Q Acoustics P2P™ (Point to Point) bracing across the 3000i series supports the parts of the enclosure that need to be stiffened making the new enclosures exceptionally rigid, improving the focus of the stereo image and giving the soundstage more accuracy than ever before.
