Q Acoustics Q3050i (Walnut)
Speakers Per Pair
In stock
£649
”The 3050is are full of energy and even better than their predecessors – Q Acoustics has come up with the goods once more.”– ‘What Hi-Fi’ – 5 Star review. Tested at £649
HPE enhanced for a purer sound
Unique to the 3050i model, HPE (Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer) technology reduces distortion. Larger speaker cabinets tend to build up pressure in specific areas, causing resonance and cabinet distortion. By equalising the pressure around the cabinet the pressure is reduced, giving a less distorted sound.
Improved cabinet bracing
Working alongside HPE is new P2P bracing. P2P (Point-to-Point) bracing is now deployed to enhance rigidity and further reduce cabinet distortion. Reducing cabinet distortion lets the drive units operate at their optimum, giving a cleaner, purer sound.
Revised drive units
With their newly developed surrounds, the bass units are even more accurate and faster to respond. The coated paper woofer cones are light, rigid, and helps give the 3050i’s their deep, punchy sound quality. The tweeter units are decoupled from the rest of the cabinet, meaning that the treble isn’t affected by vibration from the bass unit. With power and purity of sound at their heart, the 3050i’s are amongst the most dynamic sounding speakers in their class.
Twin woofers for a big sound with movies or music
The 3050i is a worthy flagship - with twin woofer units the bass depth and dynamics are effortlessly deep and powerful. Despite the exhilarating sound, they’re far from unrefined. Thanks to high quality components and clever design, they still have the same skill with extracting the finer subtleties of music. The big scale sound created by the 3050i’s also makes them ideal as the front speakers in a home cinema set. For a totally cohesive sound, simply add the matching 3000i-Series centre and satellite speakers.
Four finishes to suit your style
With its distinctively designed, rounded cabinets, the 3050i is a stylish speaker. Choose between four different finishes and you can get the look that’s perfect for your home. Choose between Graphite Grey and Carbon Black for a technical look to blend well with your other hi-fi components. Alternatively, Arctic White looks great in modern interiors. Finally, the English Walnut vinyl finish is the ideal complement for both antique and contemporary wooden furniture.
Whether it’s thrill-a-minute action or soothing Classical music, the Q Acoustic 3050i speakers will have you gripped.

Great speakers
I have had the speakers for a couple of weeks now and played vinyl, CDs and iPad through them. They sound great and can make the earth move, if you let them! Vinyl is the best source, I think.

Excellent product
Well worth upgrading my QAcoustics 1000 series to the 3000 series 5.1 setup. The 3050 fronts are amazing with a full sound that i was hoping for.

Simply stunning
So, I went to the Plymouth store and Hal helped me make the decision to buy these 3050i's and I have to say he certainly knows what he's on about. Now, I could get all audio snob about these and bang on about punchy bass and supreme clarity from the stabilised tweeters but let's face it, that's not what you want to know. In real world speak, these 3050i's out perform their price bracket in both sound and style. You would have to spend a bucket load more money to better these bad boys. Worth every penny and then some!

Great clarity with extended bass
I bought these to replace a pair of Yamaha NS200s I have loved for many years. The Q 3050i’s possess a deep controlled bass and open up the soundstage making it easy to place individual instruments.
The overall sound is dynamic and punchy with a very natural feel.
There is a definite lean towards the human voice and nuances within can be clearly heard. Perhaps the sound is a little clinical at this stage but I think this may change as the speakers are run in.
The quality of the speaker cabinets is excellent. We have the english walnut vinyl wrap which gives the speakers a more traditional finish. I love the curved edges and they come with metal spikes and a metal rear foot to aid stability.
I listen to them through a Marantz PM6006 and this seems to be a good match, Overall I class them as excellent.

Highly Recommended
I bought these to replace an old pair of floorstanding Missions which are about 20 years old. I also thought about getting Fyne Audio F303 and Dali Oberon 5 units but after much research and reading od reviews I decided to go for these. They are hooked up to a Rotel RA-10 amp and a Linn Axis turntable and I also took the opportunity to upgrade my speaker wire to some Audioquest Rocket 11.
The units themselves are finished really well, mine are Walnut, and to be honest they look really good - much more modern than say the Fyne Audio which to my eyes look a little bit dated.
So onto performance - obviously I have only had them just over a week so it is early days but I am pretty much blown away. I have them fairly near a wall behind, 12cm, so have opted to use the rear foam plugs so the bass doesn't get to much. I am hearing things and details I haven't heard before, Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here for instance is sublime/revelatory.
Every album I have played so far has had me closing my eyes and grinning from ear to ear.
Recap - great looking speakers that pack a punch and are brilliant in this price range. Highly recommended.
