About Q Acoustics

Q Acoustics is young by British standards but has been extraordinarily consistent at the affordable end, where the 2020 and later 3020 became default recommendations. The engineering effort goes into the cabinet rather than exotic drivers: Gelcore uses a non-setting adhesive between two layers of board so panel vibration is converted to heat, and P2P bracing places bracing only where the cabinet actually needs it.

Notable models: 2020, 3020i, 5040, Concept 300, Concept 500.
