These sit in different price classes - Q Acoustics Q Active 200 costs roughly 1.6x what Klipsch The Sevens does. Expect it to lead on paper; the question is whether the gap is audible enough in your room to be worth it.

|---|
| Bass | A | Klipsch The Sevens digs deeper - 39Hz against 46Hz. A subwoofer would even that out. |
| Built-in power | A | Klipsch The Sevens has the bigger amplifier (200W vs 100W RMS). |
| Connections | B | Q Acoustics Q Active 200 adds Wi-Fi and streaming. |
| Size | depends | Q Acoustics Q Active 200 is easier to place; Klipsch The Sevens is bigger, which usually goes with fuller bass. Your room decides. |
| Expandability | depends | Klipsch The Sevens: a sub output; Q Acoustics Q Active 200: a sub output. |
| Price | A | Klipsch The Sevens is cheaper - $1,299 against $2,098, about 38% less; arguably a different class. |

depends neither is better in the abstract - it turns on your room, your system or how you will use them. Only specs published for both speakers are judged; anything missing on either side is left out rather than guessed.
Which should you choose?
Klipsch The Sevens has the edge on paper, though the margin is not large. The rows marked "depends" may matter more to you than the score does. If a subwoofer is in your plans, the bass gap largely stops mattering - you would be crossing over above 46Hz anyway, so judge these on the other rows instead. In a large or open-plan room, Klipsch The Sevens has the cabinet volume to fill it more easily; in a small room, near a wall or at desk distance, Q Acoustics Q Active 200 is the easier speaker to get right.
And remember what a spec sheet cannot show: how each looks in your room and whether the finish suits it, what dealer support and warranty are like where you live, and how they actually sound to you. If you can hear them first - ideally with your own music - that will tell you more than any number above.
