"These Q Acoustics M40s are soundbar killers, in my view. They are really nicely made and exude quality. The detail, midrange vocal vibrancy, and adjustable bass response stand out."

"Q Acoustics’ floorstanding soundbar replacements are obviously more focused on music than they are on movies and TV, but they still sound phenomenal for both...For music, the M40 are an excellent all-in-one choice for the discerning listener who doesn’t want a full-fledged hi-fi system."

"Q Acoustics has decent form in powered speakers with the fabulous M20 but even so, the M40 HD raises the game considerably...It represents all the system that many people will ever need and it represents formidable value for money. This is one of the reasons why 'Hi-Fi systems' are changing shape but when the result is this good, we're not going to stand in the way of progress."

"It has very natural tonality, which is one of Q Acoustics best attributes…great timbre, great clarity, great realism and a huge soundstage...I love the M40. It is the first powered speaker that I’ve really liked. The first powered speaker that can hang on its own without a subwoofer...At $1,000 this is a bargain and put out way more bass than it has any right too. "

"Fun is back. And not a moment too soon…the Q Acoustics M40 micro-towers soar over the wireless speaker competition priced under $1,000…Are they worth $999 USD? Without question."

"The M40s sound great, look good, and sonically punch well above their size…in real-world conditions, the mini towers managed to be relatively unobtrusive while sounding anything but. Maybe, just maybe, it really is what you do with it that counts…These punchy mini-tower speakers are hugely impressive and highly recommended."

"'Convenience' ceased to be a dirty word in hi-fi circles some time ago, and Q Acoustics has long been on a mission to rehabilitate the word 'affordable' too. With the M40, the company has combined convenience with affordability, added a hefty dose of performance, and manifested it in a compact package that's easy to live with and enjoy."

"The Q Acoustics M40 is another fun and thoroughly engaging speaker system that plays nicely with a range of sources. This micro tower is easy to accommodate, less conspicuously hi-fi in its looks, and packs a rich, warm performance… in terms of opening up a new space within the market, I think Q Acoustics is onto a winner with the M40."

"(Slightly) big and (certainly) clever, the M40 HD is Q Acoustics doing what Q Acoustics does best...If you want some full-scale streaming performance from a slightly-less-than-full-scale system at a less-than-full-on price, you won’t go far wrong here."

"This is a just-add-smartphone complete system that’s simplicity itself to set up and operate….There are many admirable aspects of the sound quality available here, but most immediately impressive is just how much of it there is…Smaller room? Suddenly that’s no impediment to getting a bigger sound - and without breaking the bank, either.…it’s hard to find fault with the M40 HD’s presentation."

"...the clearer it becomes that music listeners don’t have to go broke in 2024 building a high-end audio system...One could build a $10,000 around them and be satisfied for life...It also handles a lot of power without even flinching."

"The Q Acoustics 5050 are pleasingly mature sounding speakers that deliver impressive clarity and scale."

"Q Acoustics' latest floorstanders deliver the sonic goods."

"Grace and power at a really competitive price."

"Q Acoustics’ keenly priced floorstanders give you a recognisably ‘audiophile’ sense of detail without losing sight of the importance of excitement and engagement. Perfectly suited, then, to the active listener looking for both immersive listening and a quick adrenaline rush before heading out to the pub..."

"These are the most realistic speakers I have ever heard…the 5050 and the 5040 offer another level of musical enjoyment…you have detail, you have vocal clarity that is other worldly, a mid-range richness without being too much to cover up any of the detail, dynamics…It’s an easy speaker to love. It’s a perfect speaker."

"Grace and power at a really competitive price…impressive clarity and scale...you will be greeted by some of the most controlled and articulate bass that we have heard from a tower at this level...The smaller 5040 are excellent speakers...the Q Acoustics 5050 floorstanders do everything their junior siblings can do but add an extra dose of authority and a slightly calmer manner. If you have the space and extra budget, this is where our money would go."

"...make no mistake — these were one of the most important releases because they made rather incredible sonic performance that much more accessible to those looking for a well made floor standing loudspeaker that is actually affordable."

"Expressive dynamics, excellent clarity and a premium look make these a fantastic set of speakers."

"At under £1000 retail, the 5040 is a first class bargain for consumers or installers looking to add some true Hi-Fi performance to their audio installations. It is sleek, beautifully made, outstandingly musical with any genre, happy to party, and, thanks to the flush terminals and port bung, has flexible room portioning options."

"…even without taking its affordable price into consideration, Q Acoustics’ 5040 offers superb sound quality. It combines sufficient low-frequency extension and articulation with excellent clarity and imaging and low coloration…Highly recommended."

"…these were one of the most important releases of 2023. The floor standing 5040 at $1,500 need to be at the top of your audition list… Q Acoustics raised the bar with these under $1,500 and there is nothing else in the same price range that I’ve heard that I would rather own."

"...blew us away...The Q Acoustics 5040 are even-handed performers that simply step out of the way of the music and let it shine...wonderfully expressive and insightful performance that’s class-leading at this level."

"What you are getting for your £999 with the 5040s puts them into a class of their own...exceptional sound quality...Respectful and appreciative of every genre, from floor thumping bass to delicate strings, these are a joy to listen to, and clearly designed by people who love their music."

"Combining a very attractive design with excellent sound quality at an MSRP of $1500, the Q Acoustics 5040 speakers just deliver and are an easy recommendation for a floor-standing loudspeaker at this price point."

"The Q Acoustics 5040 are even-handed performers that simply step out of the way of the music and let it shine...wonderfully expressive and insightful performance that’s class-leading at this level."

"The 5040s elevate themselves above the competition…I think this is a speaker that will appeal to everyone…May be the best floorstanding speaker I’ve heard."

"The Q Acoustics 5040 are even-handed performers that simply step out of the way of the music and let it shine...wonderfully expressive and insightful performance that’s class-leading at this level."

"Detailed and dynamically impressive, the 5040 faithfully reproduces recordings with precise tonal accuracy and fine spatial definition within the soundstage…The 5040 is never less than fun to listen to."

"If you’re looking to spend around a £1,000 and are in the market for some classy and comparatively compact floorstanders, put the 5040s at the top of your shortlist. You will be hard pressed to find something more musically rewarding."

"Their accuracy and clarity, with a smooth and detailed midrange and well-defined bass response make them one of our top choices between $1,000 and $2,000 in the floorstanding loudspeaker category…The competition should be nervous…. If the budget allows — consider these a must audition in 2023."

"...it manages to be one of the most open, expressive, and spacious sounding bookshelf loudspeakers on the market."

"They are amazing…I couldn’t recommend this speaker more."

"Jeremy Sikora (AKA “The Budget Audiophiler”) and I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with these bookshelf (or standmount) loudspeakers in 2023 and they impressed us both with their clarity, detail, resolution, articulate bass, and spaciousness. They are immensely satisfying to listen to."

"Q Acoustics is the master of deciphering what makes a stereo speaker sound great, and the 5020 is another rich and musical performer from the UK-based brand."

"...delivers more than you might expect for the money and doing so with a minimum of tweakery in set-up or use being required. They look the business – especially in the striking black baffle/white cabinet combination, are solidly put together, and will never fail to entertain."

"The highlight is how each and every frequency is melded and fitted together like sonic Lego…given that right song they can have you balling in tears…The 5020s plug you into the soul of the music."

"The Q Acoustics 5020 are very well-balanced speakers that veer tonally slightly on the warm side with great resolution, good dynamics and a wide soundstage...They also pair well with a wide variety of amplifiers and won’t embarrass themselves as you upgrade electronics down the line. In a highly competitive market segment with many alternatives, this makes them pretty special and puts then in a very select group. Outstanding."

"Both a talented speaker in its own right and an intriguing taster of what is to come. The 5020 is right up at the top of the tree for £600 standmounts; an even handed, articulate, room friendly little box of fun in the great Q Acoustics tradition… The 5020 might be glimpse of the future but, in the here and now, it’s a tremendous new arrival and an indisputable Best Buy. "

"Across a wide selection of voices and instruments, the 5020 sounds unforced and believable...The result is that Q Acoustics ‘completes’ its range in fine style...That clever new mid/bass driver points to some interesting further developments to come as well. The company might now have an offering for every terrestrial price point, but it feels like it’s just getting started."

"When you consider the build quality, sonic performance, and value for the money from a brand that is really creating some of the best affordable loudspeakers in the world right now — the Q Acoustics 5020 are a very wise long-term choice."

"…the 5020’s sound feels like a cohesive whole...this is another zinger from Q Acoustics: a great-looking and musically entertaining speaker."

"For anyone looking to upgrade from entry-level standmount or bookshelf speakers, the Q Acoustic’s 5000 Series is a bargain. There’s a lot of bang for your buck with these new speakers and I look forward to hearing how the floorstanding 5040 speakers perform. Highly Recommended."

"The separation of the instruments, especially in the mid -range and upper bass, is spectacular…that’s the thing with this speaker, you really start hearing things that you probably won’t hear on other speakers…the Q Acoustics 5020 is one of the better speakers I’ve heard…for near field listening this could be the end game speaker for some people…worth every penny."

"The Q Acoustics find the perfect balance between audiophile-detailed and bombastic…Not just for game or movie nights, but simply as a permanent upgrade compared to a soundbar. Their sleek design and preference for placement close to a wall makes the 5040 5.1 bundle particularly interesting for people with a smaller home but also medium-sized living rooms."

"Q Acoustics' impressive 5.1 package has stylish looks, a solid build, great performance and affordability – stars of the show are the tremendous 5040 floorstanders."

"Q Acoustics has delivered an excellent home cinema package for those who value convenience and exciting, lively sound...easily one of the best speaker packages on the market."

"Q Acoustics' speakers combine sultry styling with a really listenable performance that excels when it comes to ambience, detail and bass/mid-range body. Compact 5.1 speaker packages aren't as commonplace as they once were; this is a reminder of how it should be done. "

"...they offer a gorgeous, rich, and refined sound to them with a great sense of timing and space that makes them a versatile choice for all range of genres of music and games alike. They also offer a great range of inputs, wired and wireless. If you are on the hunt for a set of capable and affordable wireless speakers for your living room, office, or indeed anywhere else in your home, these Q Acoustics M20 HDs are a fabulous set of Digital Foundry-recommended speakers for the money."

"Q Acoustics has cooked up something very special within these curvy cubes, which provide a golden splash of clear, expressive, and superbly balanced sound that elevates nearly everything you play."

"What can I say, the M20s are superb-sounding speakers, offering amazing tonal balance, a wide soundstage, and impressive volume for their size…it’s easily one of the most versatile and best-sounding speakers systems I’ve ever heard…Should you buy them? A wholehearted yes."

"Whatever your Bluetooth speaker needs, the M20 is one of the most versatile and attractive systems I've experienced at the price, and brings a big boost to home audio for a relatively small outlay…This is the best Bluetooth speaker system I've heard this year."

"I don’t think you can put together a separate system for the same price, connectivity, the dynamics, the control, the clarity and the tonal balance of the M20s. If you can I think you are some kind of genius, or possibly, just possibly, delusional…The M20s are the biggest bang for buck I’ve come across since I started reviewing on this channel."

"The Q Acoustics M20 HD speakers are a complete audio solution in the form of two bookshelf speakers. The audio is simply fantastic, the connectivity is terrific, and the versatility, performance, and power that the M20 HDs offer is basically unparalleled."

"The Q Acoustics M20 HD speakers punch well above their price point when it comes to audio quality, and they look lovely, too…you'll get some unbeatable sound for your money."

"Powerful but delicate, sizeable but attractive, the Q Acoustics M20 HD Wireless speakers are worthy of your ears."

"They provided excellent, low-distortion stereo reproduction with plenty of bass across all formats and are a bargain for the sound quality they produce. Three years after SoundStage! first reviewed a Q Acoustics product, I am now the sixth SoundStage! reviewer to be impressed with the excellence of the company’s creations on all fronts. A high-quality build married to high-quality sound, all at an affordable price."

"The Q Acoustics M20 is one of the best of its kind right now and is worth every penny of its $599 asking price."

"Q Acoustics has released an unfussy, just-add-source set of powered speakers that we find impossible to dislike. With all of the amplification squirrelled away in the master speaker and the plethora of connectivity and placement options covered, the M20 is far more likely to become your entire music system than it is simply your new desktop speakers – and for this money, you’ll be hard pushed to better the sound quality with hi-fi separates."

"Q Acoustics has knocked it out of the park with the M20. It has class-leading levels of clarity, grip and tonal accuracy and I’m sure it will be a benchmark product at this price and go on to win many awards. Outstanding."

"Final evidence of the M20's five-star status is the fact I’ve spent longer listening to it than is technically necessary for the purpose of this review…the level of performance and functionality it offers for £400 makes it an absolute bargain. Those in the market for a powered stereo system should rush to audition."

"Perfect for people who want to take their first steps into the world of high-end audio, you'd be walking the earth a long time looking for a powered speaker setup that sounds this good…If you're looking to update your sound system then this setup will take you into the realms of high-end audio without bankrupting you in the process. Pure quality!"

"These compact bookshelf speakers pack an awesome punch without taking up too much space…the sound on offer is excellent for the size of the speakers. All in all, these budget, powered speakers are an excellent buy and as a compact and versatile audio system, they offer superb value for money."

"High-definition sound, Bluetooth compatibility, and minimal design – what more could you ask for? At £400, Q Acoustics M20 HD powered speakers are compact, but offer a kicking sound profile! Its immersive sound, with clear, high-definition, is consistent across any input…the M20s are a firm favourite amongst the VF Team."

"Another winning performance from a Q Acoustics’ system, the M20 is a versatile performer with a warm sonic performance that’s thoroughly enjoyable with music, movies and games"

"The M20 takes one look at the competition.. and lays waste to the lot of 'em. "

"...the M20 HD system offered solid, confident playback with any material we threw at it. Soundstage and reproduction are excellent…The wealth of input options covers pretty much every eventuality and their manageable size means moving them around your home to connect to different gear isn't a huge hassle…Versatile and great-sounding powered speakers."

"The Q Acoustic M20 HD speakers offer a high-end audio experience and plenty of features for a fair price that won’t absolutely destroy your wallet. If you want to get into hi-fi without the hassle, they're a superb buy."

"…the sheer precision and balance of Q Acoustics' M20 is impressive for such an affordable speaker system, and its versatile Bluetooth and wired inputs mean that it's well equipped to form part of a wider entertainment system that also encompasses film, video and gaming."

"The M20 is a sensational performer for the money. It combines a decent feature set with solid build and the sort of performance that is pure, unadulterated Q Acoustics. It's an absolute star."

"The M20 delivers the kind of broad, detailed, punchy and engrossing sound with which Q Acoustics made its name…M20 system comfortably outperforms its asking price…Hi-res sound from multiple sources, with none of the compromises the price suggests."

"A brave and radical design, Q Acoustics Q Active 200 implements BMR technology to give a great-sounding yet relatively affordable system. It's hard to fault in anyway."

"The Q Active 200 is a lifestyle-friendly system with serious chops, delivering impressive accuracy and range from a compact wireless design."

"…these speakers are really remarkable in terms of acoustic power and precision…The analog input shows that the system is capable of nuance and complexity…"

"…if you’re looking for something that works as cohesively as single chassis all-in-one but delivers a performance across music and film that is bigger and more confident than any of them, this is where you need to start looking."

"Q Acoustics takes a crack at its first powered speaker and knocks it right out of the park."

"In short, the Q Active 200 sounds exquisite…Use the Q Acoustic 200 to their fullest as your main living room sound system, connected to your TV, and added to a multiroom setup, and you won’t be disappointed with your investment."

"Great musicality, those speakers are able to deliver a great sound quality and dispersion, whatever the music…a great achievement from Q Acoustics at that price level"

"The Q active 200 is an impressive pair of active speakers and streaming system rolled into one. There versatility in terms of connectivity is a boon and their flexibility in terms of placement makes them easy to adapt to any room…this is an ambitious system that acts like a rug to knit all your gear into one wireless system."

"Q Active 200 is a brilliant system that is packed with acoustic energy."

"The Q Acoustics Q Active 200 is wireless, powerful, complete - and proves how simple, comfortable and living room-friendly modern music enjoyment can be… purely as a one-room solution, the audio system delivers first-class sound…"

"The Q Active 200 was able to quickly captivate us with its musicality after only a few songs…it offers a listening experience that is as special as it is smart. So it really earned our fifth star as well as our warm recommendation! Outstanding!"

"Very much like Jason Statham’s character in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, the Q Acoustics 3030i are a tad unleashed. They communicate music like an effortless weapon, and with some serious punch in the lower registers. "

"Q Acoustics' latest addition to its well-regarded 3000i range of speakers is a thoroughly engaging listen, treating to the same fine sound that the rest of the lineup offers, but with added low-end presence and authority."

"The bass is structured and deep. Airy and fruity, the top of the spectrum shows nuance and great qualities of expression. Everything is perfectly integrated, extroverted without ever overwhelming or tiring."

"The 3030is are a welcome addition to the 3000i range. They have all the attributes of their smaller siblings, but add a huge slice of authority into the proceedings...It all makes for a hugely rewarding listening experience; one that had us playing track after track long after the test session ended...Simply put, you can buy these with confidence. "

"A lovely looking, really well-built speaker, that has really punchy and full bass, while being easy to set-up. They are more than worthy of this award."

"The Q Acoustics new 3030i bookshelf speakers are nothing short of a design triumph...If you want a great-sounding pair of bookshelf speakers with more bass than usual, and you are on a budget, there’s not much to touch the 3030i. Highly recommended."

"Right now, if you were to ask me what the most capable speaker you can buy for under £500 is, I could not in good conscience say anything other than this one, which is why the Q Acoustics 3030i has to be seen as the current Best In Class."

"Even at twice the price it would still be a no-brainer...A stone-cold bargain."

"The 3010i cinema pack from Q Acoustics has everything you need to produce a faithful, detailed cinema sound in your front room. For the small real estate this system actually takes up, the sound is phenomenal…The cinema pack fills any mid-sized room, and most above, with a sophisticated soundscape, no matter the task."

"...it’s hard to find fault with the Q Acoustics 3010i 5.1 Cinema Pack in either aesthetic or sonic terms. Whether as a stereo pair or as a full surround sound package like this one (for anyone after an affordable and entertaining home cinema speaker set-up), we can highly recommend the 3000i series."

"With five speakers and the sub wired and ready to go, the package provides a convincing surround sound presentation that, like its predecessor, is bags of fun to listen to. That’s not surprising, considering the front and rear channels are made up of speakers we called “rhythmically entertaining” as a stereo pair."

"It’s all backed up by decent scale and spaciousness – winning traits for home cinema set-ups, of course – as well as tight integration between the speakers. Placed around our AV testing room, they manage to deliver a gapless, busy-yet-coherent soundfield."

"The 3010i system is impressive all-round, from styling to surround delivery. An essential audition for those shopping for 5.1 below £1,000."

"The Q Acoustics 3050i 5.1 Cinema Package is a surround sound speaker system with an unbeatable combination of features, performance and value."

"It is worth stressing just how talented the 3050i 5.1 Cinema Pack is. It’s an instant hit, easily identifiable within moments of it being switched on. If you’re looking for a floorstanding speaker package to elevate your home cinema for less than two grand, you should consider this set of Q Acoustics."

"We’d defy anybody not to enjoy an evening spent with this speaker package. Their energy and exuberance is infectious, without being fatiguing, and those qualities are complemented by a great deal of maturity and insight too. "

"The power and bass weight offered by the 3050i caters for greater intensity, without forgoing the snappy timing of their more diminutive partners. That fluidity and fleet footedness is one of the most impressive aspects of this package, avoiding rigidity for a fast but natural sounding performance."

"Snappy, detailed and musical...This Q Acoustics package is a talented and enjoyable set of speakers."

"To sum up, this is a masterful update of an already very talented 5.1 package. It retains the basic balance and natural tonality of the original but in an expanded and more refined performance envelope, with enhanced clarity and insight. On top of which, it looks great, is well built and beautifully finished. And value for money? Off the charts."

"...they're hard to fault at this price...Q Acoustics 3050i Cinema Pack is a cracking set-up for movies, TV and music, making it well worth a Best Buy badge at this price. "

"Q Acoustics has delivered yet another superb set of speakers in the shape of the 3050i Cinema Pack. They look great, sound better, and are competitively priced, making them the perfect choice for fans of both movies and music."

"This innovative brand has been a powerful player in affordable speakers for a decade now, but the 3050i is arguably Q Acoustics’ best value product yet"

"...the Q Acoustics 3050i Cinema Pack is a cracking set-up for movies, TV and music, making it well worth a Best Buy badge at this price."

"...this is a masterful update of an already very talented 5.1 package. It retains the basic balance and natural tonality of the original but in an expanded and more refined performance envelope, with enhanced clarity and insight. On top of which, it looks great, is well built and beautifully finished. And value for money? Off the charts."

"A substantial improvement on its predecessor, it’s almost as if adding a simple ‘i’ suffix doesn’t do justice to how much better the Q Acoustics 3050i really is. If you’re looking for a largish, high value for money floorstander then this has to be the first model on your audition list; it may be the last, too."

"The 3050is are full of energy and even better than their predecessors­ – Q Acoustics has come up with the goods once more and reaffirms its position of pre-eminence in the midrange floorstander market."

"Outstanding – amongst the best"

"“What you get out of the 3020i bookshelf speakers belies the price...Once you’ve found the perfect spot, there’s a refined, sparkling sound that comfortably outstrips what you might expect of the price point, with a sophisticated and balanced soundscape…for the price, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better value set of speakers.”"

"The engineers at Q Acoustics have managed to create a bookshelf speaker that sounds like a floorstander. The result is a speaker that flows beautifully and reveals so much more of the music...Unless you want to spend twice as much, you probably won't find a better bookshelf speaker for the money."

"Q Acoustics has done it again. The 3020i are a shining example of a product done right, and then improved further with lessons learned. For the money, this is about as complete and rounded a musical performance you can get. If you’re looking for a serious set of speakers with a limited budget, look no further."

"Deep in size, deep in sonic analysis, these standmounts will make great first speakers...A former Award-winning speaker that’s been improved, they keep Q Acoustics firmly among the cream of the budget speaker crop."

"The sound is quality is nothing short of superlative for the money, the look and feel is great; and they’re unfussy about where you put them...the Q Acoustics 3020i make sure that the spotlight shines on the music alone. That’s really all you can ask from any speaker, at any price...the Q Acoustics 3020i are a steal at the price."

"...the 3020i has no vices. No blooming of the bass, no brightness in the mids and no pinched treble while the extra midrange insight and tonal realism gives these speakers an expensive feel. How the company produces this sort of performance from the given price point is beyond me."

"More than just a safe pair of hands, the 3020i has real star quality...delivers a potent, fully rounded musical experience that will keep you listening"

"Exemplary budget bookshelf speakers for smaller living spaces"

"The 3010i are incredibly sturdy and look great, sound superb and cost relative peanuts...Despite the compact size there's a richness to the sound and a fullness to the bass I wasn't expecting...Stunning"

"The 3010i system is impressive all-round, from styling to surround delivery. An essential audition for those shopping for 5.1 below £1,000."

"Whether you’re looking to put together a Hi-Fi system on a budget or simply don’t have room for larger stand-mount or floor-standing speakers, the 3010i are unlikely to disappoint. These compact bookshelf speakers pack more sound per pound than you have any right to expect for the money."

"If you love the sound of Q Acoustics’ speaker packages but covet more power, the QB12 is as good a solution as we could hope for... this is the kind of performance that should slot easily into any comparably talented speaker set-up...As long as you have the space, budget and amiable enough neighbours, we say go for it. Just be prepared to host movie nights from now on."

"The new subwoofer sounds bigger and deeper than previous efforts from Q Acoustics, but it’s also more effortless in its delivery. The Q B12 integrates perfectly with the 3010i speakers, creating a balanced low frequency foundation. It’s also a very responsive design, revealing plenty of speed that ensures both music and movies sound equally as good."

"I haven’t seen a standmount speaker at this price range that is this innovative and well executed. This is something I would expect from a much higher price tag…the Q Acoustics Concept 300 sound freaking damn awesome in my room."

"The Concept 300 is a great addition to the standmount market. Highly capable across the board, it’s clear a lot of thought has been put into the design. The result is a charming sound that puts the accent on civility and smoothness – but never at the expense of musical enjoyment – making it excellent value for money."

"Remarkably for a company that’s taking only its second stab at some properly high-end loudspeakers, Q Acoustics has hit the bullseye. Again. These speakers have dynamism, they can unearth even the finest details, they’re unfussy about partnering equipment (within reason) – and they can turn their hand to anything."

"Transparent and neutral-sounding, with superbly stable, well-defined stereo imaging, and more extended low frequencies than you'd expect from a loudspeaker this size, Q Acoustics' Concept 300 gets an enthusiastic recommendation from me."

"A pair of elegant loudspeakers with dedicated stands that sound rich, punchy and musical. Outstanding - amongst the best."

"I commend Q Acoustics for thinking outside the box to come up with a solid-sounding offering and for something that has aesthetic appeal way beyond the traditional audiophile…It gets a recommendation from this channel."

"Unique design, beautiful construction and near-holographic sound...The Q Acoustics Concept 300 are genuinely special speakers... "

"Innovative tensegrity stand and inspired cabinet design elevate this standmount to premier league status."

"Q Acoustics Concept 300 dish up the most exquisite sounds with any genre of music…These ingenious speakers are beautifully engineered. Highly recommended."

"Even if the cost were far higher, this speaker’s depth of expertise across the board would still be astounding. Q Acoustics can be proud of its ability to maintain transparency, detail, and auditory definition while essentially redefining expectations for the price, allowing you to focus just on enjoying all the music… It is a superlative product!"

"The sum-up is pretty simple: the Concept 500s are nothing short of sensational value for money, and capable not only of revealing exactly what your system is doing, but also embarrassing some pricier rivals.”"

"This is an outstanding speaker that shows an all-round depth of talent that would be impressive even if the price were considerably higher. Its ability to remain transparent so that you can simply get on with enjoying the music is something that Q Acoustics can be very proud of, as it redefines expectations at the price."

"…the Q Acoustics Concept 500 is special….I doubt that, once they've entered your listening room, they'll ever leave.”"

"For the money, there are no better floorstanding speakers you can buy. In fact, you’d have to spend thousands more for any improvement – and even then you might only see improvement in certain areas."

"The Concept 500s prove Q Acoustics can compete at all levels. They’re superb speakers for the money."

"The Concept 500 sets an incredible benchmark at £4,000. This is also one of the most impressive demonstrations of applied technology I’ve seen in a while…Q Acoustics has built another speaker that is the new standard to beat."

"“These glossy new speakers, selling at just under £4,000 a pair, sound like a £20,000 product...they sound five-star near perfect. The bass was juicy and rich, but not silly and overdone. Fleetwood Mac, in particular, sounded amazingly alive – close your eyes and you could almost believe they were playing in front of you. These are truly top-class speakers for a mid-market price”"

"Mainstream speaker makers often struggle when they move upmarket, but not Q Acoustics. The Concept 500 is an audacious new floorstander employing highly optimised drivers and cabinet...This loudspeaker sounds refined way beyond its price, with a neutral yet musical performance."

"…it’s frankly a life-changing experience hearing the soundstage on the 500s because it doesn’t come with the consequence of added piles of resonance on the music…It keeps pace with some of the best speakers I have heard well above the price point of the Concepts…It’s been a good while since I’ve been able to fall in love with a boxed speaker...when you take resonances very seriously and wrestle them into submission and what you get is the performance in the room…I love these speakers – phenomenal."
