Q Accoustics 3050 - awesome £500 floorstanders

[ChrisD.]

Just a heads up for anyone looking for some floorstanders in the £500 ish area, then seriously consider these. My mate bought a pair after recommendation by Sevenoaks. He has them hooked up to his Cyrus gear, and once bedded in they sound fantastic. When he bought them there weren't any reviews, however a What Hifi one has just gone up.

The 3050s’ faithful reproduction would no doubt give decent speakers closer to the £1000 mark a run for their money – and that’s some feat.
Hats off to Q Acoustics: these speakers are yet another staggering achievement. For the money, they’re sublime.

I'm comparing them to my BX5's, sure I don't have a Cyrus amp as I'm running a Pioneer SC 2024 but I can tell a fair bit of difference.

they certainly look nice

did you compare them to the Tannoy DC6T SEs by chance ? just they are down now to 399 from Richers

No, Sevenoaks recommended the Q Acoustics above all else at that price range, so they were bought based on that.
