Q Acoustics 2010i Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) (Graphite)

These little well built speakers are absurdly good and live up totally to expectations offering a level of detail and stability, particularly in the critical midrange, that you have no right to expect at this price. Driven by my Denon RCD37 they sound wonderful. Words of caution: they need "running in"; out of the box they sounded harsh, shouty and almost out of phase. I was almost going to return them when the true sound kicked in. They are also dismissive, like all good equipment, of less than good sources - shows DAB radio for what it really is. Because of their price they could be partnered with kit that simply won't do them justice. Something like the Denon is probably essential. Bearing that in mind - buy!

I just wanted to install something a bit better than the speakers that come with my 52" Samsung LED tv, but of course anything is better than that... But being a bit of an audiophile I started at a tiny level and then decided for something better to go with my blue ray unit and the image quality I get. Well these two speakers are now leaving the image at a lower level in comparison, so I'm afraid I will have to go for a better, bigger and more effective (such as 3D LED screen), to have a better balanced system. Either that or remove to speakers and install them with my living room Hi-Fi system turning it into a surround arrangement and place a couple of less effective, smaller drivers close to my tv... The only thing I can mention as a mediocre result is their lack of bass performance. I can understand that where I placed them, up high on the wall, hanging from their own design supports, too close to the wall surface, the bass reproduction is reduced tremendously, so I would recommend a medium sized active subwoofer to cover for their lack of low frequency response.

I did a fair amount of research and concluded on a pair of these. Apparently QAC are a part of QED who make fantastic cabling and have been around in the UK for quite a while. The units themselves are quite small which is great in my small study, but I run them from an old class A Sugden amp which lets them really sing. You won't get thumping bass, but the actually audio quality is not lacking with good equipment driving them. But it is subjective in the end, so you either need to have a listen before or take a gamble, I'm pleased with mine. They look good too, remind me a bit of AE1s from the past.

Very unimpressed with these speakers. I may be a little bit critical, comparing them to a pair of Rourks in the same room, but I expected better performance than the pair of Sony speakers that my little radio hifi unit was connected too. They are better but not much. I think the problem is reviews from hi fi magazines, they are not very accurate in my opinion, can't help thinking that advertisers get the prizes. However, at the price they are more than adequate. Incidentally, got them from Richer Sounds who are superb.

beware of Q ACOUSTICS products I bought these speakers in feb 2013 to go with my Denon amplifier, LG blue ray player and sky+ box, all contained on my glass tv stand, after a couple of months my Denon av player started to switch back onto standby. after a while I notified amazon and returned the denon amp back for repair/replacement after a week the repair company emailed back saying the Denon av was tested and OK, they suspected the speakers were faulty and causing the system to break down I sent the speakers back to amazon and was told the speakers woofers were damaged , and had I PERHAPS had the speakers on TOO loud in which case it was miss-use on my part could not believe that statement, asked them if they were technically qualified to answer my email, and replied they would send them to Q acoustics for checking, Q ACOUSTICS found they were not working correctly but could not prove miss use so they repaired them under warranty I had returned the speakers back to amazon on 7th November, I received them back 25th November I have since obtained two new different speakers and will just keep the 2010i speakers as spares

I bought a pair of these for the surround from our new Pioneer VSX921. The results are simply outstanding. Beautifully understated design is matched by the superb sound - full bodied, yet pure and undistorted. These are a What HiFi best buy, and deservedly so.As surround speakers they're perfect, and they also come with foam plugs for the bass reflex cavity, in case they're too boomy when used as bookshelf speakers. We have them mounted on their own supports at angles to the wall, and the sound could not be bettered. Unreservedly recommended.

Wow, what an impressive pair of speakers. I use them in a 3.1 home cinema setup, combined with the 2000ci center speaker (and on older onkyo sub). They pack a lot of punch for their size and are very clear sounding. They're not too big and look really nice. And what a bargain!

My wife had been objecting to my large old speakers taking up space in the living room so I decided that I would buy some compact bookshelf ones. What HiFi gave the Q Acoustic 2010i a 5 out of 5. This and the fact that they were tiny convinced me to buy these via Amazon. The 2010i can produce reasonable bass sound, but the baritone voice is much weaker than with the old speakers (Rotel RL150X with 8" woofer - probably about 35 yrs old). In general, there is a lack of richness in the lower mid frequencies. Maybe it's a crossover issue? I'm pretty certain that they are positoned OK. In my opinion, they don't rate 5/5, at least not without a separate woofer. So the Rotels are back temporarily, though to avoid divorce, I'll need to buy a separate subwoofer. KW

Quand un matériel est bon on ne l'entend pas. Une précision incroyable, un son chaleureux et fidèle à la source. Peu servir d'enceinte de monitoring. Du matos audiophile pour un prix normal. Noir indémodable avec un ergonomie impeccable pour le passage des fils. On peut les mettre sur des pieds.

I am using as desktop speakers for my office. They are being powered by a Denon AVR 1612 in 2 channel/stereo mode. Give them about a week or two to break in and then you will be blown away by the tweeter and imaging. Even near-field listening. The tweeter is first class for the price and absolutely sings silky smooth, especially acoustic and jazz tracks. A steal at this price tag. Excellent build quality as well, with little to no resonance with cabinet knock test. Highly recommended!

Premetto che questo acquisto è il secondo di questa azienda Inglese che produce diffusori da oltre un decennio ed è stata premiata più e più vollte riguardo allo standard raggiunto. Ho acquistato d'apprima una coppia di 2020i e un centrale 2000 Ci , me ne sono subito innamorato, in quanto oltre alla costruzione perfetta e al Design all'avanguardia , produce una resa acustica fantastica , in grado di soddisfare anche gli audiofili più smaliziati e sofisticati , si comporta altrettanto bene con ogni tipo di musica e con la riproduzione in ambito Home Teatre . Queste 2010i infatti sono andate a completare la parte posteriore di un sistema Home Teatre che comprende anche un Subwoofer Celestion amplificato. Oltretutto la qualità in questo caso si sposa perfettamente con il prezzo assolutamente ottimo , si può effettivamente dire che in questo caso forse il prezzo non rispecchia la assoluta qualità , nel senso che è decisamente basso rispetto all'acquisto. Le consiglio a chi vuole uscendo dai soliti marchi che spesso sono più nome che qualità , desidera Diffusori che riproducano fedelmente e con grinta ogni genere musicale oppure in ambito Home Teatre , voglia sentirsi proiettato sul set dei film che preferisce , con una fedeltà che impressiona. Grazie Q Acoustics .

Habe mir dieses Q Acoustics Set als Nachfolger von meinem Bose Acoustimass 10 IV zugelegt. Habe nun 2x QA 2020 als Front 2x QA 2010 als Rear 1x QA 2000 CI als Center und den Mivoc Hype 10 als Subwoofer. Das Bose System fand ich nun nicht schlecht....aber Bauartbedingt war es in den mitten schon recht mau. Als kleines Beispiel : Ein Typ im Format von Hulk kommt durch die Tür und fängt an zu Reden......und hört sich fast an wie meine Frau....also keine Tiefe in der Stimme. Nun denn das ist nun mit diesem Set nicht mehr so .. Hatte erst doch so meine bedenken da ich noch nie was von der Firma gehört habe,aber dann im Netz ein wenig geforscht und nur gutes gehört. Also Bestellt und abgewartet...die Lieferung kam relativ flott an ( kommen aus der UK). Die Verpackung war schon mal Top ....gibt nix zu meckern. Auch die Lautsprecher selber sind Top verarbeitet und sehen dabei noch gut aus. Dann ging es ans Anschließen und Einmessen . Derzeit hängen sie an einem Pioneer VSX 921 womit das ganze auch Eingemessen wurde. Als alles fertig war.....was soll ich sagen.....was für ein unterschied,die Lautsprecher machen genau das was ich bei meinen Bose so vermisst habe. Der Ton ist wirklich top und spielt in der Liga von eher teureren Systemen Alles klingt wirklich voll und ausgewogen und der Sub tut sein übriges um das ganze nach unten abzurunden. Für diesen Preis zu dem diese Lautsprecher hier angeboten werden ( bei den 2020 und 2010 handelt es sich um Paar Preise!!!!) kann man nichts falsch machen. Wer also gerade überlegt sich ein neues System anzuschaffen,sollte Q Acoustics mal ausprobieren und mit auf dem Zettel schreiben. Meiner Meinung Spielen sie locker in der Liga von KEF,Nubert und co.......

Diseño muy cuidado y tamaño contenido. Para mi salón de 22m son más que suficiente para utilizarlos para oir música
