Key Features

”The 3050is are full of energy and even better than their predecessors – Q Acoustics has come up with the goods once more.”– ‘What Hi-Fi’ – 5 Star review. Tested at £649

HPE enhanced for a purer sound

Unique to the 3050i model, HPE (Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer) technology reduces distortion. Larger speaker cabinets tend to build up pressure in specific areas, causing resonance and cabinet distortion. By equalising the pressure around the cabinet the pressure is reduced, giving a less distorted sound.

Improved cabinet bracing
Working alongside HPE is new P2P bracing. P2P (Point-to-Point) bracing is now deployed to enhance rigidity and further reduce cabinet distortion. Reducing cabinet distortion lets the drive units operate at their optimum, giving a cleaner, purer sound.

Revised drive units
With their newly developed surrounds, the bass units are even more accurate and faster to respond. The coated paper woofer cones are light, rigid, and helps give the 3050i’s their deep, punchy sound quality. The tweeter units are decoupled from the rest of the cabinet, meaning that the treble isn’t affected by vibration from the bass unit. With power and purity of sound at their heart, the 3050i’s are amongst the most dynamic sounding speakers in their class.

Twin woofers for a big sound with movies or music
The 3050i is a worthy flagship - with twin woofer units the bass depth and dynamics are effortlessly deep and powerful. Despite the exhilarating sound, they’re far from unrefined. Thanks to high quality components and clever design, they still have the same skill with extracting the finer subtleties of music. The big scale sound created by the 3050i’s also makes them ideal as the front speakers in a home cinema set. For a totally cohesive sound, simply add the matching 3000i-Series centre and satellite speakers.

Four finishes to suit your style
With its distinctively designed, rounded cabinets, the 3050i is a stylish speaker. Choose between four different finishes and you can get the look that’s perfect for your home. Choose between Graphite Grey and Carbon Black for a technical look to blend well with your other hi-fi components. Alternatively, Arctic White looks great in modern interiors. Finally, the English Walnut vinyl finish is the ideal complement for both antique and contemporary wooden furniture.

Whether it’s thrill-a-minute action or soothing Classical music, the Q Acoustic 3050i speakers will have you gripped.

Key Features

  • Striking floorstanding Speakers with twin 165mm and 22mm precision drivers
  • The Q 3050i cabinet uses Point-to-Point (P2PTM) bracing techniques to reduce intrusive cabinet vibrations for a purer sound
  • HPE™ technology eliminates sympathetic resonance within the enclosures by equalising air pressure within the 3050i cabinet
  • Conventional terminal panel cut-outs have been removed, giving greatly improved structural integrity to the enclosures and new low profile binding posts
  • Uses a 22mm decoupled High Frequency Driver with wide surround creating a wide even dispersion of stereo

    It's not a lot of money for these. I've had mines for 4 years now, and they're fantastic speakers. They go quite low frequency wise, so if you added a sub later you'd only need 1, but so far haven't felt the need. I run mines with a Yamaha A-S501.

    Q Acoustics and a Yammy, classic combo for me. They pair so well

    Q acoustics speakers are good bang for buck, they always challenge way more expensive speakers. I had some before going B&W 7 series and the jump wasn't that huge to my ears

    Almost went for this in a 3.1 system but went for the fyne audio f501 £649 and f500c £199

    How do you find the fyne audio 501 and 500c, looking at these too

    These are great, got a pair under my bed because my toddler wants to climb on them 🥲

    Had a pair of these for about 5 years and I gfdgfgf love them. Great bang for buck.

    Can't recommend Q Acoustics enough. Great value for money.
    Have mine paired with an SVS sub and it still blows my mind with film and hi-res music 4-5 years on.
    krel's avatar
    Which SVS sub have you got paired with them? I've been looking to add a sub and was thinking either the q acoustics qb12 or the SVS sb1000

    Got the Dali Spektor 6 from the last deal for £279. Is the price increase for this worth it? Total newbie if that matters.

    Would these work fine with the previous model? I've got a couple of 3020 (previous model) bookshelf speakers - I'm looking to make 5.1 - would this work if I got this and combined it?
    RobinM23's avatar
    So use the 3020s as rears? I think this would be fine. If picking up a centre speaker I'd match it to the fronts, i.e. the 3090Ci. Depending on your amp you could possibly run a phantom centre, but I've no experience of this

    I absolutely adore my pair of these. What a price!
  10. Sentral's avatar
    Ahh if I only had the space for some floorstanders, I'd snap these up. Hope I can get a similar offer next year once I've moved house!

    Great buy.

    I have these paired up with my Yamaha amp and QEL sub as part of my lounge surround/ music set up. Thoroughly recommended.
