Because Andrew doesn't want to find himself sleeping on the sofa ;) . Seriously, I enjoy and respect Andrew's take on things but it's Kristi's opinion and their banter which sets this channel apart. I value her opinion as much as I do Andrew's when I'm trying to decide which speakers to purchase. I'm in the process of doing that right now as I'm 63 years old and I'm looking for end-game speakers which I'll thoroughly enjoy until they plant me in the ground, I'm looking at towers and $2000 is my limit and I would prefer to spend no more than $1500 but there are soooo many viable choices these days in the $1K-$2K range that it makes your head spin. The KLH Kendall piqued my interest(particularly in the maple veneer finish) and then two weeks ago I learned they're releasing it's successor, the Kendall 2F, in the coming days.....decisions, decisions.

Andrew and Kristi, awesome review again. You guys nailed it, and the contrasting opinions on some of the comparable speakers. It was reminiscent of an Abbot and Costello bit. Your fast becoming my favorite review team. One of the things really great about your channel is that while you review higher end products, you expose the value in the more affordable equipment( klipsch 8000M2). I'm looking for new speakers now and using your channel to aid in the search.

I agree with the comparo between these 5040s and the 50s about the better cabinet dampening, but there's also one of the most important parts of a speaker that was left out of the conversation, the crossover quality. Especially when talking about a given speaker's sound staging abilities . I love your straight up honesty Christie. Thanks for the video you guys. Excellent work as usual.

True! The 50s definitely use higher quality components in the crossover which is mounted on an isolation base.

My whole seperates surround system uses various Q Acoustics speakers , i have found they give an excellent performance at sensible prices and avoid the listening fatigue that other brands give you when watching long movies or listening to music for long periods. For now i am happy with what i have, buying these speakers soon after release will mean paying full MSRP and that is against my way of buying gear.

@davidrivera2165 Жыл бұрын

After auditioning QA concept 500, 300, 50, 30, I can definitely declare that only the 500 and 300 deliver the detail and imaging I like, but all lack the dynamic impact and scale I consider acceptable. In my opinion at least two sealed 10' subs must be added, and that's just for music listening never mind HT. Andrew and Kristi have reviewed better cost to performance speakers. Polk 700 & Klipsch RP 8000F. These two don't deliver the micro details of the Q acoustics speakers, but are far more dynamic and deliver a large scale enveloping sound when the music or soundtrack demands it.

@bzdtemp Жыл бұрын

Loving the review as always. Interesting to learn about the differences and similarities of the QA's. As for who is right, that is difficult to say without having had the chance to do my own listening. So I will of course be on Kristi's side. Any chance of a review of some "bigger" speakers? I would love a review of a set of Dynaudio Contour 60i. It would also provide the option to compare those to a "smaller" sibling set or for that matter a significantly "larger" sibling set.

@zakblue Жыл бұрын

I like the conversation about dialogue intelligibility you had with Kristi. Over the years I've always preferred speakers and headphones that can deliver detail and clear dialogue without having to be forward to do it. The KEF Reference 1s that I owned were a good example of this - the dialogue and top end detail was super real, super clear to my ears but just not forward. Too forward and it becomes artificial and that grinds on me. I'm a classical muso and one thing another musician told me once was 'if you play that musical line a bit softer it will make it more audible' and what I garnered from that is that due to playing it a bit less it becons an audience to listen for it. Drawing the ears in. Perhaps that's what Kristi is experiencing with dialogue. Because it's more real, more believable and less forward it's more intelligible? Anyway, thanks for the review!

@-MarkWinston- Жыл бұрын

After listening to so many tower speakers, I still cant find any speaker that could match the dynamicism of the Focals, let alone the soundstage width and center imaging. Also, detail retrieval and transparency is second to none. These Focals can get bright due to its off axis response but can be easily solved by treating first reflection points on the side walls, ceiling and floor. Zero toe in works too as it is not needed to get a focused center image. I hope Andrew reviews the new Theva and especially the Vestia! Thanks for the great review!

Looking at building a 5 channel home theater with the 5000 series. It's $1,500 for the mains, $600 for the center, and $750 for the surrounds. That's $2,850 and then a sub, ideally a small one like SVS 3000 Micro. That's almost as much as the Q Acoustics 50. This is very compelling and the speakers look awesome with their curves and Scandinavian feel.

Good morning Andrew. Enjoy all of your reviews, nice job on giving a detailed description of all of the speakers that you review. I am trying out the Focal 926s. I also also have the Canton Chrono sl 590.2 dc. I have had them a few years. They are very good, but I think the focal have better depth and a wider stage. the cows are a tad on the bright side, but I think after a few weeks of breaking them in, they should settle down a little in the treble. What is your opinion on the focal 926 versus the Q acoustics 5040?

Recently picked up a pair of 5040's from Crutchfield. The mids and top end clarity are somberly amazing with this speaker. In our room, it's just about perfect. The only think lacking for me is that the lows could definitely stand to be a little bigger, even though we have them only about 8" off our front wall. Going to gibve them some more break in period to see if the lows open up, but right now, I'm slightly preferring the new Focal Theva No.2 towers we also bought for comparison. The Q Acoustics mids are top end are more revealing and less fatiguing, but the low end on the Theva's is much deeper and punchier, regardless of the listed low end spec of 53Hz. Really tough call as to which ones we are keeping. I'm wondering if the upcoming 5050 might just be exactly what we are looking for. The 5040's mids and highs with a bit bigger low end from the bigger drivers.

My old solid bookshelf/smallish speakers with subwoofer seem to cover the complete frequency range to me-with holographic imaging and good vocal presence (using an equaliser to tone down the upper midband). I’d hate to purchase these to find they didn’t suit when squeezed into the bedroom.

Great video. How do you compare the sound of 5040 and Monitor Audio Silver 300 7G?

On the Triangle speakers, it would be great to hear your thoughts on the mid and upper line speakers the offer Esprit EZ and Signature lines be Borea.

Andrew, what would be a solid but not crazy expensive upgrade over my Klipsch RP-260F speakers? Are these QA5040s it? Or the 600 M II bookshelf's etc.

Do you believe that they are a good fit for a Marantz PM7000N? Also, do they play well at low volume, or are they this kind of speaker that only reveals its highlights at higher volume? Since I live in an apartment, I need them to play well in low volume. Thank you!

I truly can't say who's right...as I havent heard all the speakers and I don't own your ears 😅😉! Great and very entertaining review again (guess you can tell i know how to walk the fence without falling).

Great to see your channel seems to have got the first hands on experience of q acoustics newest line up! I was somewhat surprised you felt not much difference between these and concept 50s, surely that was not Q Acoustics intention...? From what I could make of your review, concept 50 strive ahead in soundstage...for me what else is there in stereo speakers we'd want other than soundstage improvement? I don't buy speakers to look at, I want the best soundstage image/phantom centre channel, etc...

I was able to listen to these at Axpona in Chicago yesterday and I was very impressed with their sound. Especially considering they had zero acoustic treatment in the room compared to other vendors there. This is going to be a popular line of speakers, especially with how good they look

hello there, sorry I do have a few questions on this review..why have you not tested them with the technics sug700? especially as you mentioned the technics 700 is your dream amp paired with the concept50 ? .. and all the speakers you mention in comparison... is this a direct comparison? with the same amp? or "audio memory" ? with different amps?.. I am confused here, you need to directly compare speakers with the same amp.. anything else is...

Hi Kristi and Andrew (ladies always first). I am over here in the U.K. and have been furiously watching your videos as I am setting up a streaming system. I have (based on your reviews) gone for the NAD C700 as the all in one box as I couldn’t quite stretch to the atom that you so love. Now I’m after speakers. I have seen Kef R5’s for a similar price to these q5040’s. What would you suggest would suit the c700 better? R5 non meta that is. Many thanks for your help. Liked and subscribed.

Great review of a very important product for home AV enthusiasts. Q Acoustics offer a very good sound per pound 💷 and I'm sure these speakers will find many homes. My local AV store tends to demo Q Acoustics with Yamaha and Audiolab products so I'd hope to hear these with the Audiolab 7000 or 9000 soon.
