I took the Cheap Audio thing in a different direction. Mainly inspired by Randy, and WATT Audio. I took a pair of 25 year old RCA budget floor speakers, and replaced all three drivers and the crossovers. Did some internal bracing. Total cost for the whole project was $400.00. Now, I'm not going to sit here and say they're top grade audiophile sound, but they are rather respectable now. They were always thin on bass. Now, I don't even need a sub anymore. The bass is that good. And it's tight and controlled, not bloated. In fact, several people who have systems that are way beyond my pay scale, are seriously surprised. A friend who runs tube amps, thought I bought new speakers when he walked into the house and heard them playing downstairs. Powering them through a Marantz SR6015, and streaming through a WIIM Pro Plus with High Resolution music service.

If you're looking for a real bargain try the 3050. The're a 2016 floorstanding model still available from Q-Acoustics USA at $400/pair. They were designed by Karl-Heinz Fink & the same basic concept has been refined in all follow up, more expensive models. These were extremely popular in the UK but for some unknown reason (perhaps the tippy cabinet?) not in the US. Highly recommended if you're on a budget.

I have the 3050i which I picked up 2nd hand from marketplace. They are great, but a little pronounced in the upper-mids for me, which I can find a little more fatiguing compared to my other speakers. I mostly use them for playing classic rock when I am up and moving around the house. Doesn't mean they are bad, some people might prefer that.
@TheRealKaner 23 күн бұрын
@@myfreakyvalentine I have the 3050i too. Mainly vinyl usage through an old 90s Kenwood amp (phono input - so no onboard turntable phono amp). These speakers are new, so not really run in. I've not experienced that, may be the newness, and/or the types of music? I also stream music through them and find them very clear, crisp throughout the lows/mids and highs - mainly a mix of alt/indie, 80's and 90's. No fatigue experienced, but maybe I'm just old(er) and deaf(er - sic) now.
@trevorbartram5473 22 күн бұрын
While I've never heard the 3050i, when Q-Acoustics changed the design from the 3050 to the 3050i I believe they boosted the sound to increase sales. The 3050 was given an excellent review by Martin Colloms, a highly respected long time reviewer in the UK. That review & the price sold me on the 3050 and have not regretted my purchase.
@myfreakyvalentine 22 күн бұрын
@@TheRealKaner I agree with the way you describe the highs and mids with your taste in music, that's how I found them too. My other set is a little set of Acoustic Energy AE300's which despite their size (probably a quarter the size of the 3050i's), I feel have a deeper, richer sound. I like to listen to quite a lot of electronic soundscape type of stuff with a lot of depth (?) which I love the AE's for. Less so classic rock, but when I do I love the 3050i's for that. I probably should not use the word "fatiguing", that might be too negative.
@TheRealKaner 22 күн бұрын
I like listening to Ben Frost, Jo Quail, Mogwai, even a touch of Philip Glass amongst others. I think they are fairly well suited for that type of music. Again, IMO. Any suggestions on music...maybe I'll find some common thoughts.

For the sake of hearing one of the finest Speakers ever made, find you a pair of the Original KLH Kendalls…and be prepared to be even more blown away!! They were short lived, but still available for 1499.00 or less. These Q’s are quite good and sonically a bargain!! But the Kendalls(Original) are more sensitive at 96db, and reach lower, 25hz and can handle much more power. Yep you read right, 96db at 8ohms! Just get em Randy, you’ll be glad you did as you won’t get rid of them. Dayton Audio sells an out rigger kit I installed in mine that is well worth the extra 100 bucks for a set. Cheers Mate!!!

If you would like to try taking the Q acoustics (I have the 5040s), or any other speaker, to a new level when it comes to locking them down and letting them really perform, an investment in some Stack Audio Auva isolation feet is a worthwhile upgrade. Did mine recently and the difference was pretty immediate - not one of those squinty upgrades (you know where you are focusing so hard to hear a difference you squint and strain) - but an immediate wow, things have relaxed, instruments are in their lanes and the vocalist is locked into where they should be and not smeared across the soundstage. Worth a look, small friendly UK company with great customer service and ship globally (30 day money back)

I watch a ton of speaker review and evaluation videos. One thing that I don't normally see and something that I have experienced personally, is that speakers sound differently depending on the source material. For instance, most speakers that "review" great, indeed sound great... when listening to audiophile music. I too consider myself an audiophile. However most of my experiences are in the car audio world. But back to my point; great sounding speakers sound, well... great, when listening to Steely Dan, Dire Straits, acoustic guitar, Claire Marlo, exquisite vocal tracks, modern pop music, etc, etc. But these same speakers lose control when you pop in the latest Megadeth CD. The Remaster of Michael Jackson's "Thriller"... unbelievable. Fear Factory's "Obsolete"... mud. Now, I am intelligent enough to realize that complicated music with extreme dynamics and machine gun double bass drums and screaming vocals are not the majority of people that will buy $2k speakers. But there are some. I would love to hear thoughts about this.

From the description of the speakers vocal qualities I imagine they would do justice to Nat King Cole...LOVE IS THE THING or Sarah Vaughan...SARAH VAUGHAN (featuring Clifford Brown). Thanks!

So Randy, I do enjoy your channel. But I have long ago purchased my ideal cheap audio system and I'm happy with it, and i want to deepen my relationship with it. I'm no longer getting anything helpful from your increasingly pricey reviews. In all honesty, Where do we go from here? How about some ideas on how to use Audacity to rip, sequence, and denoise my record or tape collection? Or storage ideas that make records *more* accessible, not less? Or how you clean your analog media? Or find/make cheap speaker isolators? (painter's points, anyone?) Or at least poke some fun at Shakti stones...

I'd like to hear them -- especially since they have 92dB sensitivity -- but two grand gets a person some overtly superlative speakers. KEF R3 Meta, Amphion Argon 3S, PMC Prodigy 5, Audio Physic Classic 5, Arendal, Dali, ATC, the new QUAD Revela 1's ... I have a hard time seeing the sense in the value proposition here. Two grand for a vinyl wrap? Really?

Spot on comment.

Hopefully, the savings on a cheap vinyl wrap gets spent somewhere that improves the speaker sonically. I'll take sound 🙉 over looks🙈 any day. But of course, if the vinyl wrap is indicative of the whole build quality, that is another issue altogether!

Any chance you can contact your submarine buddy at CSS Audio to review their new Critons 3tdx? Atb, Gerlach Sven.

Indiana Line Diva 5 costs 500 euros less and are far better. Nice promo video for Q Acoustic anyway, i have to admit they look nice.

Telling us the Freq range means little unless you tell us the +- range. is it 37-30K + - 10Hz, 6Hz or 3Hz?
