Hey, first off, love these videos! You almost have an ASMR quality, so I get to feel very relaxed AND learn about speaker systems at the same time! I'm moving to an apartment with neighbours below and I have the Q Acoustics 2050is. I love them to bits but I'm thinking floor standers will be quite a disturbance to my neighbours when the bass rumbles through their ceiling! Would a pair of 3030is be a good solution, perhaps with the stands and without a subwoofer? Thanks!

Understood! I prefer floor standers myself, it's a great to have choice!

Do you think the 3030i would be equivalent to the 3050i in a 5.1 setup? The 3050i cinema pack gets stellar reviews, where the floorstanders seems to really shine by providing a very wide soundstage and enough bass extension to complement the sub. Apart from the lower sensitivity, which probably means the amp would need to show a bit more muscles, do you think the 3030i will do the same job in terms of soundstage and bass extension? The 3020i would probably be too short on both. Cheers for your great reviews!

Nice review. I think with two woofer, mids 3050i sound more fuller and wide soundstage ?

I really like the 3000 range. There's no shortage of choice. A good case where it's better to plan your own setup than just buying a bundle. Personally I'm leaning towards the 3050i's for my fronts.

great vid and i really enjoy your content. You seem to have alot of knowledge of the Qacoustics speakers... and im close to pulling the trigger on the 3050i cinema package. The only thing putting me off is lack of atmos support. The similar jamo speakers have separate atmos module speakers which sit ontop of their floorstanders which i think is a great idea... and cant help but feel Qacoustics 3050 are missing this extra feature... any ideas if they have something in the pipine line for this ?

On review units, I don't consider it at all because I don't own them. Full disclaimer if you open your speakers it can void the warranty so beware! On my own speakers it depends on how easy it is to access the internals. The 3000i do not have outward facing screws so I'm more wary of just pulling the binding post because it could damage something. So after that looooong explanation 😀, no I won't be doing that.

Thanks for the comparison and confirming my suspicions; with a decent sub, the 3030i is the way to go. IMHO, of course. Keep it up and stay safe and healthy dude!

Excellent review.I'm not into forward (in your face)sounding speakers. So i bought a year ago Q 3030i with Yamaha a-s 501.I was very worry maybe the sound turn out to be too bright for me.Ηappily the sound is laid back.The highs are crystal but not offencive,the mids are warm and revealingly and the bass deep and strong (in my room).In some movies bass gets very low frequencies like a subwoofer!The whole room is shaking!!So i don't have to spend more money for a subwoofer. Like i said i was worry about the synergy between them but Yamaha A-S 501 proved to be a true gem.Far better speakers than wrfs 12.2.

How bad would it be to put 3050i next to each corner? I'm planning to get another SVS PB2k sub and the only possible placement is the front stage and the only way I can really fit the 3050is with PB2k is by placing PB2Ks near the center channel while putting the 3050is to the outside (current fronts are 3020i which are on a shelf about 1 feet off the side wall) which would put them very near side walls. I do plan to put heavy curtains on both front side walls to absorb some of the reflections as this room sounds near bathroom levels... But in any case how bad would be to put 3050is near side walls? Ideally I'd want to put them at least a foot or two off the wall but if I do that they'd be too close to eachother and wouldn't get stereo separation -.-
