Q ACOUSTICS 3010i Compact Bookshelf Speakers Pair English Walnut - Featuring 2-way Reflex Enclosure Type, 100mm (4") Bass Driver, and 22mm (0.9") Tweeter - Stereo Hifi/Passive Speakers

Needed speakers to go with my record deck and new amp (Denon). There was a Denon package but with their own offering they were square and black - I wanted something a bit more funky and white (as per the amp). I looked at Cambridge audio which I have for my surround sound but the Mini's would have needed a subwoofer so starting to get expensive. I saw these and looked at the different models - 3010, 3020, & 3030's but the higher the number the bigger they got - to the point of not being bookshelf speakers in my mind (or having a very big bookshelf !). So opted for the smaller ones. As my amp supports 4x I figures I could add more if required. They are amazing - great sound quality including bass (small rooms don't really need a subwoofer with them), and they look great too. Highly recommend.

I ordered these speakers on Friday & they arrived on Sunday so I was very pleased with that, on opening the box I was shocked at how great they look in the walnut Finnish and gold trim around the drivers . The 1st cd i played was the Division Bell by Pink floyd man did it sound great & and the more I've played them the better they are getting. To me the q acoustic 3010i are a real bargain for the price and i would recommend them to anyone wanting a speaker of that size.

These reasonably-priced bookshelf speakers replaced my ageing Mordaunt Short stand mounts after a house move. I am blown away by the quality of the mid-range and top-level sound. Backed up by a subwoofer for the deepest bass, listening pleasure is unabated. And, they fit perfectly into my TV cabinet for a compact visual appearance. Perfect!

I'll eventually be using these speakers as the rear L/R parts of a surround setup, but I've tested them as standalone units and have to say that I'm really impressed by the rich, space-filling sound they produce, far more than might be expected for small bookshelf speakers, but I've bought Q Acoustics speakers for years now and they've never disappointed me, and these are no exception! There was a minor stock issue with the vendor, but this was resolved amicably and all correspondence was prompt, polite and professionally conducted so I commend them for that. Happy, happy, joy, joy etc. :D

Compared with their predecessors, the 3010, the 3010i initially sound a little flat and lacking in excitement. The forward, attacking sound of the 3010 has been softened, with Q Acoustics taming the punchy, in-your-face mids and highs in favour of a more refined, delicate balance. The benefits soon begin to reveal themselves, however. Voices and instruments initially seem to lose a little clarity and presence, but swapping back and forth reveals the 3010 to sound nasal and congested compared to the new models. They now sound far more natural and full-bodied, with music looming larger and deeper between the speakers. Orchestral music benefits hugely from the 3010i’s added scale and more refined tonal balance and, while both models are too small for truly earth shaking bass, the 3010i reach a couple of notes deeper than their predecessors. In my room, they only gave up completely once frequencies dropped below 35Hz, and there's a surprising kick right down to around 50Hz. Crank them up, and it’s surprising how much bass these little speakers can put out. The 3010i have their limits. There isn’t the depth or the detail, nor the ability to unpick dense layers of instrumentation that you’ll get from pricier bookshelf speakers, but the overall performance is out of this world for £150 In this featherweight category, the 3010i are highly impressive performers.

Great little speakers that both look and sound good. These give a balanced, natural sound and defy their small size. Unlike the speakers that this is replacing, these can be used at very low volume where needed. Good for both music and films although if you want deep rumbling bass then these will only work for you if combined with a subwoofer. Minus 1 star for the length (depth) of the speaker which can may it less practical for some desktops

I've owned, a still do, Q Acoustic floor standing speakers over the years so I knew that these would be decent. What surprised me was how good they actually sound. For the price they are excellent, and perform way above their price.

Great Speakers. I have used them as part of a 3.1 surround sound system. I almost went for a soundbar, but decided sound quality won over space saving. They sound very detailed and go surprisingly low for such a small hifi speaker, but with a sub too nothing is left out. In wood finish they look very sophisticated and have a quality feel. With the 3070i centre speaker too, the set up looks great. For the price paid, I couldn't be happier. 👌

Nel mio caso fanno coppia da cucina, parte del sistema multiroom. Buona qualità costruttiva e sonora, per il momento niente contro.

I purchased these speakers on July 23. I noticed some holes in the tweeter section. I have filed a warranty claim for the product. Now Amazon is saying there is no warranty for this product. However, on the Q Aquatics website, it clearly shows a 5-year warranty. What does this mean? This is how they are fooling us.

Replaced a pair of Q Acoustics 7000s with these and wow - these are next level! Amazing sound. Rugged, yet elegant construction. Arrived quickly too. A great purchase.

👍

If I could give 6 stars I would. Please use a good source to take advantage of their capability.I nave about 30 hours of listening now and at the end of each day they seem to improve and perform. Anyone that states they lack bass performance have hearing damage or are feeding them from a poor source. I had to shut off my sub and decrease bass on some materials. I am not talking boomy bass but tight articulate bass.The balance and depth of the sound presentation is one of the best I have experienced in my 69 years of life for a speaker of this class.Handsome extremely well constructed and pleasing to the extreme!
