”Great speakers that deliver an insightful and entertaining performance.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2023 Product of the Year.

Floorstanders that delivers a big sound from slim cabinets

Ideal for medium-sized to larger rooms, the Q Acoustics 5040s produce an expansive sound. A dedicated woofer gives deeper bass, while the Continuous Curved Cone delivers its usual magic in the midrange. Despite its powerful appeal, however, the 5040’s elegant lines and slim profile means that it won’t dominate your room. With a choice of four finishes, it’s also easy to get the perfect look for your décor.

The purest top-end response
Based on the design from Q Acoustics’ top-end Concept models, the hermetically sealed and mechanically isolated tweeter units deliver a super-smooth top-end response. Mechanical decoupling effectively isolates the tweeter from vibrations, letting you hear every detail in the recording, no matter how subtle.

Continuous Curved Cone for seamless sound
Q Acoustics’ advanced C3 (Continuous Curved Cone) woofer unit transforms the sound of this impressive speaker. By creating the perfect cone profile and using a powerful magnet, you get low distortion, seamless sound. The woofer design also enhances the music’s dynamics, with a bass response that’s not just deep but also tightly damped for a punchy response.

Dedicated woofer for powerful bass
The 5040 floorstanding model introduces a second bass woofer for even an even deeper, more powerful bottom end response. Ideal for dance, orchestral and stadium rock music, these speakers capture the full scale of the music in a way that many smaller speakers miss.

Advanced cabinet design for the purest sound
For the purest, most natural sound, Q Acoustics have applied science and innovative engineering. Featuring HPE (Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer) technology, distortion is reduced to a minimum. 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 P2P bracing. P2P (Point-to-Point) bracing is deployed to enhance rigidity and further reduce cabinet distortion. Reducing cabinet distortion lets the drive units operate at their optimum, giving a cleaner, more focused sound.

Choice of premium finishes
Complementing the 5040’s smooth good looks, a range of different cabinet finishes creates the perfect look for your room. Choose from contemporary Satin Black or Satin White finishes or go for the more traditional Santos Rosewood or Holme Oak real wood veneers.

Hear every note, from the highest to the lowest, in glorious clarity, with the Q Acoustics 5040.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic combination Super pleased with my new CXA 81, CXN100 and Q Acoustics 5040's combination. It has exceeded my expectations and brought new life back to my music collection. The team at Watford RS have been super helpful, especially Sammi, so thank you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing value for money Richer Sounds London Bridge team and mgr Terry offered some amazing advice and a top buying experience. I was torn between a few speaker options however Terry ordered the Q Acoustics into the shop so I could arrange a Demo against other options.  These floor standers a really well balanced, more detailed and don’t need a huge space to sing. The what hifi and other reviews really do add up, anyone purchasing the 5040 won’t be disappointed

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exactly what I wanted. I have these matched to a Wilsenten R8 Amp and an Audiolab 8000C Pre-Amp. Roksan Radius 7 Turntable etc. I have read so many speaker reviews and tried so many but these are outstanding. Bought on Boxing Day using a price match :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic sound in a slimline cabinet I bought these speakers as the Left and Right to a 5.1 system alongside other Q Acoustics speakers. They deliver a wonderful, full sound when used for music - the low end is clear rather than boomy and I can hear a lot of detail in the mids with a clean upper register. They work well as part of a surround system as well - once you get the balance between them and the centre speaker right they fill out the soundstage without overpowering dialogue. They're stylish looking and the build quality is top drawer - the rear stands take up more width than you'd realise but if you are super pushed for space you don't have to install them. You get a choice of spikes or rubber feet. Massively impressed by the audio quality of all the Q Acoustics range, even my rear 3010 speakers would make good bookshelf music speakers on their own.
