Q Acoustics 3020 bookshelf speakers: First in the Q?


Looking to buy a set of value for money, top sounding speakers? Q Acoustics says that it has just the thing. Paul Rigby reviews the 3020 bookshelf model

Egads it’s busy down there. Where? Why, the budget loudspeaker market. Sitting in and around that £100-£200 band, there’s a host of speaker designs from the likes of Cambridge, Dali, Tannoy, Acoustic Energy, Boston Acoustics, Roth, Monitor Audio and Wharfedale. And that’s not even the entire list!

So what’s a poor hi-fi buyer supposed to do about it? Well, according to Steve Reichert, buy a set of Q Acoustics 3020. But then he would say that, he was drafted onto the design team for the speaker which was largely designed with the help of system and drive unit engineering, Karl-Heinz Fink in Essen and manufactured in China.

Deriving its name from QED, a sister brand under the large Armour Home Electronics umbrella (it was originally going to be a QED speaker brand offshoot, ‘QED Speakers’ or some such), Q Acoustics is very proud of its design and the price point it falls under.

“Many other speaker manufacturers would charge a lot more money for these,” said an effusive Reichert. “If they made the speaker in their own facilities it would actually cost a lot more because of the way that ours are designed in the UK and Germany and then manufactured in China. We are using modern technology not just in the design of the speaker but in the way that it’s produced. Q Acoustics benefit from a high quality design facility in Essen. We have access to a whopping great anechoic chamber. Next door to that is a room where all the laser spectrometry is done, next to that is another dedicated to measuring cabinet resonance and so on.”

Q Acoustics has access to all this high-end testing and development kit but it doesn’t own any of it. In fact, it rents it by the day, which helps keep costs down. The good thing about the Essen arrangement is that the company does not (and will not) go scouring around third-party drive outfits picking and choosing from a menu of matching designs.

01f228_b8caa95b8f7f44e48dfaaca4a0e1fc51

“No, because the speaker itself is designed from scratch. All of our drive units are bespoke to us. Nothing is off the shelf. The units are created to give us the performance we want in the cabinet that we also designed.”

You might think, as I did, that if the drives were purchased off a third party supplier, that would lower the price still further.

“It might do,” said an exuberant Reichert, “but we wanted to get these drive units exactly right. What we want is to produce a loudspeaker that is so good that any right minded person would choose it. I’m confident that the economies of scale that we enjoy from the manufacturers enable us to get drive units of high quality. These are not expensive drive units, just well designed.”

The drive units themselves are improved from previous designs. That means that the mid/bass unit, which was a paper and mica mix, is now made from paper and Aramid. Ara…what?

“The substance in there is best known from their brand name, Kevlar. I don’t claim that this is a Kevlar cone, you understand. We use just a small amount in the mix. The mixture changes the tonality to make it a better match for the brand new tweeter. The tweeter itself is completely new,” said Reichert.

Q Acoustics used to use a 25mm soft dome polyester weave tweeter with a neodymium magnet. Not any more, it has drafted in a 21mm dome but it’s a 2-in-1 concentric model with a ring radiator, acting as a “super-tweeter” that reportedly lowers distortion but improves dispersion.

01f228_444bf6c60b5f42c1863dc8afe8b837f0

“We’ve gone over to a ferrite magnet which is physically a lot larger. The magnetic field is also larger which may be part of the reason why we think it sounds better. The cross-over has also been improved with enhanced elements, lowering the cross-talk,” said Reichert.

The cabinet is made from MDF with a dual layer front baffle plus double thickness top plate, to help to reduce resonance. The rear port is as small as possible to help maintain rigidity in the cabinet.

“We supply a wall bracket as a fitting option. For people who do that, there’s a port bung (a piece of shaped foam) which will tame the bass frequencies. Without the bung, that close to the wall, it can over excite the bass.”

The speaker is single wire. That is, it takes one set of speaker cables. The earlier models were bi-wireable and, as Reichert commented, “I have to say, that I believe in bi-wire but all of our research says that nobody uses it. At which point, if you are not using them then it makes the sound slightly worse. For example, the larger hole made to provide space for the bi-wire terminals weakens the cabinet and increases resonances.”

Before I launched into the testing, which was going to be the standard fare of comparing like-with-like, including a pair of Mordaunt Short Avianos, the unrestrained Reichert was not just confident about the sound qualities of the 3020s, he was positively bullish. So bullish, in fact, that he exclaimed that the 3020s would give the Spendor S3/5R 2 speakers that he’d seen previously standing within my abode, a real run for their money. They might not be better, he exclaimed but, he said moving his finger and thumb almost together, they would get close. Very close. Well, what’s a guy to do? The Spendors are priced at £750. I had previously reviewed them for a UK national and gave them top marks. And I was being told that these £190 Q Acoustic speakers would worry the Spendors like a Sheep Dog worries a prize Ewe.

I love a slice of hubris for lunch so, with a sigh, and a ‘Well, you asked for it,” mutter, I picked up the Spendors and plugged them into my reference system. Let battle, at least in passive sonic terms, commence!

SOUND TESTS

To begin, I span a quick slice of prog from Yes, Yours is No Disgrace, via The Yes Album. Which I thought rather apt, at the time.

The first details that struct me was how much easier the 3020s were to drive. Their enhanced sensitivity meant that the gain I had for the Spendors was way too high for the Q Acoustics, so down went the volume by several notches.

01f228_3f5b5d0e5861443eb295a2fdbfe82544

The first immediate sonic characteristic, offered by the 3020s in terms of pure acoustics, was that the mids had been tuned to be ever so slightly forward in nature. This personality was enhanced with gain, creating a thinning out of the midrange until, at very high levels, the midrange had a tendency to bark a tad. The rather thin and lightweight nature of the mids were, you have to understand, the reuslts when compared to a £750 speaker. Not only is this understandable, not only is it expected, you’d have to have a serous word with Spendor if that wasn’t the case. So, no disrespect to Q Acoustics on this matter. Is the comparison redundant? Was Mr Reichert talking through his hat and over-doing the bravado a touch? Well, yes and no.

What the 3020s give you, even in this high falutin company, are incredibly nippy and lively bass frequencies. Bass guitar and drums are svelte, trim, hard, punchy and weighty, for the price. Bill Bruford is known as a rock drummer with jazz inspirations and so it’s essential that a speaker reflects his delicacy with a drum stick as well as his deft touch. The 3020s certainly provided this characteristic in spades, giving Bruford a perfect platform to do his stuff. His work certainly offered plenty of opportunity to tap feet.

Similarly, the vocal performance was impressive. There was much air and space is this area that helped to not only give the vocal an emotional delivery but, during harmonies, reminded me that I was listening to a group of voices and not a blurred amalgam of noise.

In fact, I mention air and space, if the 3020s are superior to the Spendors in one respect and one respect only it is in this one, rather significant, facet. The 3020s actually had a superior upper midrange. Not the entire upper midband, you understand, so let’s not get carried away. I’m specifically talking about the amount of space, air and freedom that the 3020s were able to provide to the vocals, guitar and secondary percussion. In this one area, the 3020s offered fun, freedom and a real sense of joy to the music with some impressive timing to boot. So, let’s not throw rotten fruit at Steve Reichert just yet.

01f228_2ad37ef3314f486ba66a4d116ef52006

Turning away from analogue and moving to digital and jazz and Freddie Hubbard’s first album as leader, Open Sesame with Tina Brooks on sax via my Densen 2-box CD player, the B-475. Taken away from the Spenders and compared to other speakers within a similar price range such as those from Mordant Short and the somewhat older Mission MX-2s, the 3020s were not only attractive but dominant in their sonic presentation. Both trumpet and sax were sprightly and fast in their performances. Timing for both instruments were excellent, both in terms of precision and, for the price, the incisive nature of the upper mids. Similarly, treble, shown via the complex percussion, was light and airy. In fact, the open and spacious upper mids, which had even made the Spenders hang their head in shame, blew the other speakers out of the water. The sheer freedom and joie de vivre exhibited by the masters on this jazz track drew you into the track.

Even though jazz tends to live in the upper frequencies, a few words must be devoted to the bass which, although never present in the lowest areas of the sonic spectrum, did provide a rhythmic, tight foundation for the entire track. Providing a driving force that gave the music a foot tapping exuberance.

CONCLUSION

While the Q Acoustics 3020 might not be a match for rather more expensive speakers in the £750 arena, the 3020s do punch above their weight and are certainly a major competitor for other speakers in its price range. Well designed with obvious care and attention across the board from its drivers to its cabinet, there is a distinct ‘audiophile’ edge in terms of the clarity and transparency to these speakers that, for the price, is quite startling. If you are looking to enter the hi-fi field or are looking to upgrade from a pair of El Cheapo speakers then give the 3020s a serious listen.

    Hi Paul,

    Just stumbled across your site and enjoy the reviews.

    Tell me, I see a lot of reviews (such as this one) for good quality budget speakers. I’m looking for something like this but there’s never a lot of talk about what to pair it with. I’m looking for bluetooth connectivity, an audio in (preferably RCA) for my turntable, and a second in (optical or RCA) for my TV. I’m swaying between these paired with, say, the denon PMA-50. Or perhaps getting powered wireless speakers, and may even be able to afford stands with that option (budget around £400). I don’t know how the 2 options compare. Oh, and just to throw another factor in, space is TIGHT – when talking budget amps everyone seems to go to the Marantz and the Onkyo but they’re just too big and bulky (and fairly ugly imo!) for my space.

    Any thoughts/other options?

    Great website, keep up the good work

      Hi Evan – Thanks for your note. There is little such talk because everyone’s ears and budget is different. It would be wrong to pin down a system which then fails to engage you. The review is supposed to be a guide rather than an instruction. Also, my reference system can provide a basic guide and this comment forum is also supposed to fill in lots of gaps 🙂 To your points, though, do you want Bluetooth generally or specifically for your turntable? I assume you’re only talking about an amp here? Don’t forget that, although wireless speakers offer a lots of plus points and are essential under certain circumstances, you get better quality with a separate amp and speakers. The powered models have to provide a lower quality compromise. The Denon is fine. Could you possibly stretch your budget at all? The Cyrus ONE would give you so much more but costs around £700 (I know, a big jump but it would be worth having for, if you can). It’s half size too (https://theaudiophileman.com/cyrus-one-2/). IF you are determined to follow the Denon ‘sound’ then also check out some of the Yamaha reviews I’ve done. Lots of features in those. Finally, check out the NAD D 3020 which include Bluetooth and can be mounted vertically for a tiny footprint. Better sound quality than the Denon, it is priced at £449 (https://www.amazon.co.uk/NAD-3020-Digital-Amplfier-DAC/dp/B00F0OMUGS)

        In addition to your very nice review and description, as an owner of NAD d3020, I would like to know if you gave it a try with qa 3020i , since I’m not sure if the amp has enough power for these praised little speakers?

            If that’s the case, short explanation and question – I’ve move the small system (nad d3020 + PSP Alpha B1) to a bit bigger (19 x 12 ) room, and it’s just lost the punch. So I’m now in between adding a subwoofer or upgrading the speakers a bit as a first aid. What do you think?

            sure ! sometimes I’m struggling to hear what I’ve heard before, the wow effect is missing, except for some tunes, having the exact mid range the PSB Alphas like, especially at lower volumes, so sometimes it becomes tiring to listen to music for a longer periods. it seems to me the room is just too big.

          • Paul Rigby
            15th January 2020 at 3:50 pm

            That might be one of two things. Firstly, I’d recommend reading this, just to make sure that your room is properly damped. If it isn’t, in larger rooms, sound can bounce all over the place without actually reaching your ears and your amp wastes its power: https://theaudiophileman.com/damping/

            Please read that and then get back to me with any thoughts.

            Hi Paul, so after taking your advice into consideration and doing some more research about my components, I felt like sharing my solution here, since you were so kind to instantly offer your advice.
            I ended up adding the subwoofer to my little system (I stumbled upon the brand new although discontinued edition of PSB Subseries 1, the bigger brother of my Alphas 🙂 ). From the very moment of plugging in the sub, it was obvious that this buy is a win. In addition, a bit of positioning, decoupling the sub from the floor, and a bit of crossover tuning, elevated the sound quality even more. The sound stage opened up, suddenly becoming wider and deeper, revealing exciting to even impressive details in sound, regardless to the kind of music played. I also started to really appreciate the quality of both my amplifier and bookshelf speakers, somehow incomprehensible until now.
            Your advice made me re-think if actually replacing my speakers would solve the issues in the sound reproduction. I’ll still come back to your website, for more interesting hifi related content. Cheers !

    Absolutely take your point about budget and ears (!) but that little bit guidance re: powered speakers Vs separates, and the potential suggestions are a real help and great starting point. I’m so keen to hear different options but it’s so difficult unless you have a “Sevenoaks” or “Peter Tyson” type near you! These are terrifically helpful rules of thumb though. I’ll see what I can find and get listening (oh, and yes, I should have been clear: Bluetooth is for phone, computer, radio connection. RCA would be for turntable.) Thanks again!

      Hi Srihari – when upgrading your hi-fi, you need to upgrade from the top-down. So, the most money needs to be spent on the source (turntable, CD player, etc). This is the bit that is extracting information from the software (i.e. vinyl, CD disc, data file, etc). Hence, you want this bit to be as good as possible because, if it’s not, you’re playing catch-up from there on in. The amp and speakers will not be able to recover lost information. Once the source is sorted, the next step down the chain is the amp, then the speakers. I would say that your amp needs an upgrade before the speakers but, I must ask, what is the source you are using?

    Hello Paul,
    I own a pair of 3020 for almost two years now. Is a 5.1 system, which I build for watching films but, I ended listen to music every day in stereo (plus subwoofer). I didn’t own hi-fi speakers before and to me Q Acoustics sound very good, best sound that I listen until now. However, I realized that I can do better when I changed my 0,5 cents cables with QED Profile 79 (a budget cable I see). Now the sound is more precise, a little bit open than before. I start to notice the importance of the source of sound.
    I love classical music, which I use to listen live in concerts, as often is possible. Now I am in my 40s and I go to concerts since I was 5 years old. I use to have a russian made turntable with integrated amp and two speakers, broken years ago. I still have over 50 vinyl discs, before the digital era and I wish to buy a turntable. My question is about what to choose between a turntable with Phono or a separate Phono amplifier, because my AVR does not have a phono. How good are integrated phono amp in turntables? I can not go and listen because in my town there is no hi-fi store.
    Wish you a Happy New Year!

      Thanks for your question Calin – in short, buy an external phono amplifier. External phono amplifiers are normally of higher quality but, more importantly, internal models infect the rest of the turntable with electronic noise which veils sound. Hence, I would advise using a turntable with NO phono amplifier built in.

    I am wondering if you by any chance have come across DJ series bookshelf speakers by Coral from Italy. I happened to hear about them while looking for QA 3020s. Yet to see 3020 but saw a pair of 3010s rattling when paired with a Yamaha AVR. The woofers were struggling to hold their composure. I am looking for an entry level stereo system, but yet to decide what to buy. Thanks for any inputs and comments on DJs.

At the moment, I am interested in a 2.0 system with bookshelf speakers (and provision for SW.). Shortlisted Marantz 6006/Yamaha RN602 for the amplifier. Could not yet audition a Marantz. Liked Yamaha RS500 (coupled with 8390 floor standing speakers), which I guess, is identical to 602 except for the network capabilities.

      Few questions for you Mathew before I offer any advice – what is your primary source in terms of music delivery? Also, why have you decided on the Coral speakers as your design of choice? How much are you looking to buy these for? I assume you’ve seen a retailer selling them. What sort of music do you want to play through the system?

    Paul, Thanks for the reply. Sorry for my late response.

    In the meantime, I could see the DJs. They are good, but was slightly bigger than what I was looking for and also were ‘beyond my pocket’. So decided not to go any further with Indianaline. One of the shops in my city, could offer me an audition of Marantz PM6006 together with QA3010, which I liked. This together with your review on QA3020i gave me the confidence to order the system, PM6006 together with QA3020i. Thank you for the detailed review on QA speakers.

    I listen to music (pop, softrock etc. ) from Spotify (via my mobile and bluetooth), Youtube via a Sony smart TV, and MP3s/CD via a Samsung DVD player having USB input. At the moment, I have a problem with my sources, as my DVD player has gone bad and the 6006 does not have a Bluetooth reciever. Hence I am contemplating solutions like the Allo Digione player and Yamaha WXC 50.

    I liked the 3020’s at the store I heard them in, they had a pair set up with a small sub for a 2.1 system, but when I got them home, I couldn’t wait to replace them. Way too hot midrange and they just had no “body” to them. Even with my subs crossover freq set as high as I could set it, there was no upper bass unless I just cranked the sub level up. I tried them on my PC running with an older Yamaha receiver, and the little Yamaha bookshelves I had on it sounded a lot better to me, much more natural. My apartment is pretty decent acoustics wise, and even with 3 wall treatment panels added, the 3020’s were not going to work out. I found a bargain pair of Polk LSiM 703’s and am quite happy with those, and I found another cheap pair and then added the 706 Center speaker. The 3020’s are well made, but not for me. I guess this shows why people like different speakers.

    Thanks very much for your response. Q Acoustics has advised me that the NAD C370 might be underpowered with regard to powering the 3020is and could potentially cause damage. QA said to ask NAD whether the C370 is capable of Dynamic Power handling at 4 Ohms. I have reached out to NAD for their advice but they are not getting back to me so I hope you can weigh in again on what I should do. Thanks again!

    Hi Paul. I haven’t bought them 3020is yet and but if I do buy them, I would not be running them at the same time as my other pair of speakers. It seems that matching speakers to an integrated amp is much more complicated than I thought it would be, way back earlier when, say earlier this week before I knew anything about these issues! I sure wouldn’t want to blow up either the speakers or the amp so I just don’t know what to do. Thanks again for your time.

      Hi Russell – That’s why I’m a bit confused about Q Acoustic’s response. Unless they think you’ll be running two sets, simultaneously?

    Hi Paul,

    Great review, and one of the reasons I went for the 3020. I am now looking to upgrade, having purchased a Rega Planar 3 and Brio (2017). What would you recommend as a decent step up from the 3020? I have read good things about the Dynaudio Emit M10/M20, as well as the KEF LS50, which would be at the top of my budget really. Is there any others you would consider listening to?

    Many thanks
    Ben

        Hi Paul, thanks for quick reply. The top limit would be £800 really, or less than this ideally! – as long as it’s a noticeable upgrade from the 3020.
