If you want a low-cost speaker with fantastic definition and air to build a system around, then you need to pick up the Q Acoustics 3020i Bookshelf Speaker, which is marked down to $267.99 ($32 Off!). This deal is good until 12/31 as part of Q Acoustics’ New Year’s Sale.
Dubbed “The Best Bookshelf Speaker” by Wirecutter, their sound is well beyond what one would expect from a speaker under $300. They are nice and flat, with exquisite treble detail and a sweet midrange. The imaging and soundstage are also excellent. With the right recording, you will be able to hear instruments hanging in space with realism. There are some speakers well over $500 that will not give you the same “you are there” feeling.
Keep in mind; these speakers are not bass monsters, they have a tight, controlled bass that works well with stuff like Jazz and Acoustic music. If you’re looking to put together a system, then also pick up the $349 Cambridge Audio AXA35 Integrated Amplifier, an amp that will bring these speakers to life! If you want a speaker with a little more bass (but not quite as refined), then you can check out the ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2 Bookshelf Speakers, which are also on sale right now.
