Intriguing. The bass driver arrangement reminds me of some omni directional designs and I guess this dynamic mode tweeter-midrange is some kind of cross between coaxial and ribbon? I love when people are creative like this, finding new ways to get more out of clever ideas that never became mainstream. QA's done it before with the D'Appolito arrangement on their conventional speakers (tweeter between two midrange drivers). They made it their own and others have now followed yet not very long ago I think only Mission were doing it and were considered quirky. I've been anticipating for some time that QA is going to start rising in price - they have been phenomenally good value till date while building up a following and brand reputation. This I think is the start of that; because by their old pricing convention I'd have expected this to be $1000 but its 50% more. Still good value but no longer phenomenal.

Hi, thanks for your question. Q Active includes time delay circuitry that digitally delays the signal reaching the BMRs, keeping the sound from the front mounted BMRs and the rear mounted subwoofer precisely time aligned. Balanced Mode Radiators have a number of benefits including super wide dispersion for a panoramic sound stage and seamless mid-range performance resulting in no mid-range crossover distortion. They are particularly suited for use in active speakers.

d'appolito array was used frequently by Icon Audio, ProAc, Fyne Audio, Tannoy Mercury and Eclipse, Neat, Amphion and Quadral. Acoustic Energy as well and even much, much earlier than QA.

@@marksolstafir agree (although how Fyne made your list I'm not sure, that's a pretty new company). But still niche and in the minority, not mainstream. There's some pretty harsh criticism of D'Appolitio in the literature, like the Wankel rotary engine, not every attempt succeeded.

Hi, thanks for your question. The hub connects wirelessly to the speakers over a dedicated 5GHz digital link. This is designed with super-low latency to ensure left and right channels stay precisely in step for a stable stereo image.
@DingsGuy 3 жыл бұрын
The idea of these seems great, looking forward to hearing some reviews, just bought some 3030’s for my tv/hifi setup but I definitely would have considered these instead because of the e-arc functionality. Seems like the black is much more slick than the white since everything is color matched. The white should be completely white and not have an off color grill... also, why couldn’t the streaming box be color matched? (I do concede that black may fit more discretely into a system)
