  • Our take on the Q Acoustics 3020i

    The Q Acoustics 3020i is a two-way standmount speaker with a 5-inch mid/bass driver and a 0.9-inch decoupled tweeter in a cabinet about 25% larger than the earlier 3020. Point-to-point bracing stiffens the enclosure for a cleaner soundstage, and the tweeter's wide surround spreads sound evenly across a room. It suits buyers building a first serious stereo or home cinema setup who want a neutral, room-filling sound without a large floorstander. Against rivals at the same level it is often called the better-built and better-sounding option, though it stays a passive speaker that needs an amplifier and rewards careful placement.

    Pros
    • 5-inch mid/bass driver with a 0.9-inch decoupled tweeter
    • Cabinet volume about 25% larger than the previous 3020 for deeper bass
    • Point-to-point bracing keeps the enclosure rigid for a stable soundstage
    • Wide, even dispersion from the tweeter's wide surround
    • Binding posts accept 4mm banana plugs and bare wire
    • Grilles and foam bungs included for tuning bass near walls
    Cons
    • Passive design: needs a separate amplifier or AV receiver
    • Bass is limited by the 5-inch driver; a subwoofer helps for movies
    • Foam bungs are needed close to a rear wall, which trims low end
    • No built-in Bluetooth, streaming or phono stage

    What reviewers say

    Reviewers and owners rate the 3020i highly for sound and build at its level, and The Wirecutter named it a best bookshelf speaker. Most praise its open midrange, tidy bass and rigid cabinet; the main notes are that it needs a capable amplifier and some care with placement.

    What people mention
    • Sound qualityPraisedOwners describe an open, balanced sound with a wide stereo image.
    • BuildPraisedThe rigid, well-finished cabinet is singled out as better than most rivals at this level.
    • BassMixedBass is deep for the driver size, but some owners find it lean in bigger rooms.
    • Amplifier pairingMixedIt needs a decent amplifier to give its best, which adds to the total outlay.
    • PlacementMixedClose-to-wall placement calls for the supplied foam bungs to tame the low end.

    About the Q Acoustics 3020i

    The Q Acoustics 3020i is a bookshelf speaker with a 5" mid/bass driver and a 0.9" high-frequency driver. The cabinet volume is 25% larger than on previous models, which extends low-frequency response.

    P2P (point-to-point) bracing makes the enclosures very rigid, which gives a more accurate soundstage. The 22mm high-frequency driver is decoupled and has a wide surround for wide, even stereo dispersion.

    The low-profile binding posts have sockets deep enough for 4mm banana plugs.

    Questions and answers

    Do the 3020i speakers need an amplifier?
    Yes. They are passive speakers with no built-in amplification, so you need a stereo amplifier or AV receiver to drive them.
    How do they compare with the older 3020?
    The cabinet is about 25% larger and uses point-to-point bracing, which Q Acoustics says extends low-frequency response and improves the soundstage.
    Can I use them for home cinema?
    Yes. They work as front or surround speakers in an AV setup, and a subwoofer fills in the deepest bass for films.
    What is in the box?
    Two speakers, two grilles, two foam bungs and a user manual. Speaker cable and an amplifier are not included.
    What kind of cable connections do they take?
    The low-profile binding posts accept bare wire and 4mm banana plugs, with sockets deep enough for the plugs.
    Where should I place them?
