hello , great review,i have an yamaha dsp av 763 ,an i looking forward to upgrading my speakers ,and i cannot make mi mind up, what should i get the q3050i or the Wharfedale Crystal 4.3, what would you recomend me? and why?

Luv th review, very well articulated! Jus wished u would name th music/concerts & movies u texted with. Since my musical taste is very specific, I like to know what u sampled since we know many speakers do better/worse w/different art forms.🍻

Appreciate including the sound sample, also please include songs with vocals too. Cheers!

The huge price difference justifies going with the Q Acoustics 3050i speakers over the SVS towers. Great comparison and review. Unbiased and non - audiophile snobbery.

Yeah, I got lucky when I bought my 3050i back in 2019. They were on sale for 639.00. Now I always see them going for 839. Absolutely a steal for what I paid. Even at 839 they are well worth it.

Absolutely no idea why anyone would dislike any of your videos, one of the best on YT to listen to ! I understand this is the 3050i but I'm looking at the slightly older 3050 but I'm so torn between the wharfedale 230 and the 3050 as there give or take roughly the same price bracket just struggling what to chose! Whats your opinion on the better speaker?

First of all thank you so much for the kind words 😁! Unfortunately I haven't tried a pair of Wharfedales so I can't get you a honest opinion. I'm hoping to get a pair in '21 though.

Heard Both speakers. Q Acoustics 3050i sounds more refined and detailed. It Outclasses the Prime Tower easily for music audio . QAcoustics 3050i can compete with speakers costing up to 4000 dollars .

Must be preference, since the SVS sounds cleaner and goes lower with movies and music.

Great video. I love my 3050i's, and am glad to see they are at least a close comparison to the more expensive SVS. I agree, that the Q's really shine with stereo music, but they are no slouch for movies either.

I watched your VTF-2 MK5 review. I am currently looking for a sub. Do you recommend buying the extended warranty just to be safe? Have you purchased in your case?

@HomeTheaterHobbyist

No, I didn't purchase one and I haven't had any issues. Here's my general warranty philosophy, hope this helps: A vast majority of the time I don't buy extended warranties but I will occasionally for very expensive products. This is obviously a personal preference but if something cost $1200 or more and the extended warranty is less that $200 I'll probably get it. At this price point things are expensive to replace/repair, if repair is even possible

Got this big boys and hooked up with my Marantz 5015, coupled with 3030i & 3090i. Wow, what a wonderful sound and very delighted I've made the right choice of buying Q Acoustics as my speaker system!😁😎

Good comparison and side by side. Very helpful as I'm going through the decision making process. Most of my use is TV/Movie. I've often leaned towards soft dome tweeters for music because I'm kind of sensitive to brighter designs. That said, do you find the SVS overly bright to the point where you didn't like them or was it a nice balanced high that added clarity in vocals/dialogue? Also, do the Q Acoustics have rubber feet or only spikes? These may sit on top of a bench/shelf in my set up.

@@HomeTheaterHobbyist Ok great. Thank you. I've not heard Klipsch in years. 15 years ago they did horns on almost everything it seemed and I just didn't like the overkill on mids that it provided (reminded me of a gymnasium). I should try to seek out a place that has them to compare newer tweeter materials and models. I realize there are a ton of variables between what you are hearing directly from the speakers vs what is being reproduced on my end, but the Q's seemed to really emphasize midbass on your recordings. Do you find it to be a bit muddy in comparison to the Primes?

Prime center its better than 3090i?

I had the opportunity to listen to both and wharfedale 12.3 diamond which probably falls in the same category as the two and I find myself wanting the svs just a bit more. At the end of the day it's your ears but, I found the Qs to really fall behind svs and wharf in the movie section as for the music, all three was about equal and I would argue that it matter what music you were really listening to that made the difference. The Q had the less definition clarity of the three so it lacked in movie action scene, none the less it was very good as well and one would not be able to even tell a differ if not side by side.

Sorry I missed your earlier response. 😏 Thanks for sending a reminder. Depending on your budget I have two recommendations. The less expensive pick is the HECO Aurora line, bit.ly/38IEa0Z, reviewed here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/c2qgybFtqqqclNI.html. The more expensive pick JBL HDI-3600 line, bit.ly/3CVblf3, reviewed here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dYis0KRqaabYpKQ.html. Both yield a clean, crisp sound without being harsh and work well with both music and movies. The JBLs cabinets are a little more damped so there is a little less cabinet resonance so everything is a little purer and cleaner, but both are truly great speakers.

First time I heard the 3050i I was impressed, then again I had a twenty year old pair of TDL RTL3 for comparison at the time, the 3050i were better in all areas except the bass, way too light for me, sounded more like a pair of stand mounted speakers. I listened to quite a lot of speakers, the Klipsch sound signature is painfully sharp and edgy, but I suspect we all hear differently, for me the Wharfedale 12.4 are in a different class, modern speakers with the latest technology and design. The movies/music comparison is somewhat irrelevant as 80% of movie soundtracks comes from the centre speaker. My advice, have a listen, let your ears do the deciding.

Nice brother 👌

Check your research. The 3050i are not 12.2" wide. They are only 7.9". Other dimensions are slightly less as well. The original version, the 3050, are a great bargain right now. From what I've read, there is little difference in the newer model and I just got a pair of the original 3050 for $339 and free shipping. As the 3050i are $1099, I don't think the difference in price is justified.

I don't understand your argument. Here are the major similarities and differences: 3050i - $839, Prime Tower in black ash - $998, delta $159. Concept 40 - $1399, Prime Tower - $998, delta $401. The 3050i and Prime Tower have dual 6.5" bass drivers while the Concept 40 are dual 5". The 3050i and Prime Tower have single binding post while the Concept 40 have dual. The Prime Tower and Concept 40 have 1" tweeters while the 3050i is 0.9". On paper, the 3050i are more similar to the Prime Tower. Now I do agree the Concept 40 sounds better than the 3050i, but from a pure analytical viewpoint the 3050i makes more since to compare because it has the most in common.

@@HomeTheaterHobbyist I am in the uk and the 3050i and concept 40 isn't a huge difference in price. The svs are more expensive in the uk. I would have thought one of the main factors in shortlisting speakers for most people is their price rather than the size and number of drivers.

@HomeTheaterHobbyist

Ok that makes more sense 😁. I do consider price in my comparisons but also size class and features. Woofer size class is important because it can produce more output and play deeper depending on the engineering. This can obviously lead to a listener saying the larger speaker is better without quantifying that statement so I try to stick within a specific class to avoid some of those issues. Before anyone reading this comment mentions “cabinet size and construction play a role too!” I’m aware, it’s truly an evaluation of everything that a manufacturer puts into their speaker. It’s just easier to begin the discussion/review with some commonality 😀.
