QAcoustics Q7000: Question for WHF Test Team

I'll seek clarification from the review team

Hi Paul

With the stand deployed as a wall bracket, you can add around 5cm to the speakers' overall depth.

I must emphasise the sub is meant to come apart - but if you undo the bolt while it's standing on its feet it can topple. Best to lie it on its side before unscrewing the retaining bolt. The sub can face any way you want it too (that's part of the charm of its fixed-boundary configuration) and the cabling appears from the bottom of the cabinet, where it becomes visible.

Simon,

Many thanks for a quick response.

Paul.

This package appears to fit the bill for my requirements as I need something small yet can produce good musical quality as well as movie soundtracks. What I would like to know is

1. How do they compare with the likes of the B&W MT25 or KEF 3000?

2. What would be the best amp to partner this package?

Look forward to your reply

Cheers

Andy

how come the is no info on the Qacoustics Website about them? is the tewwter a ring tweeter like the ones on AE neo range?

I guess Q Acoustics hasn't updated its site yet – maybe it doesn't have the huge dedicated team we have to keep this site as up to date as possible

Yes, it is a 25mm ring radiator.

Thanks for that Andy. just strange they give you an exemplar do test before info on their site.they must be a winner.now if they'd put that same tweeter on the new 2000i range...

Cue dolly zoom...

haha didn'e even realize that..maybe just was thinking of some other character of some older  tv show..

Nope, not a clue...

I think the recent awards answered my first question but what about partnering with an amp. With the Onkyo 609 and the Q7000 both being award winners and both described as tonally neutral will this be a marriage made in heaven or do you have any other recommendations?

Dear All,

I know this is the Q Acoustics Q7000 thread. I would just like to ask a couple of questions I am thinking of either Q7000 or Q2000 Range after initially thinking of the B&W MT25 now discontinued and price.

Given the choices of amp i want to go for would you think the Q Acoustic are the better speakers to go for??

What Amp would you partner the above speaker systems with out of yamaha rx-v671 or Onkyo Tx-nr609 or any other amp for that matter needs to be 3d ready though.

Many thanks

Hi all,

Anyone?

Thanks,

Neil

Hello Neil,

I expect that pairing the new Q Acoustics 7000 speaker package with the Onkyo 609 would produce wonderful results because they are both clearly excellent products.

For academic interest the 7000s, like all very high quality loudspeakers are designed to be completely neutral in their sonic presentation and of course to work perfectly with every good amplifer. I'm completely confident we achieved this goal. Over the last couple of weeks, for the purposes of forthcoming reviews, I have set-up a number 7000 systems in magazine listening rooms and journalist's homes. Naturally they have been connected to a number of different AV amps (including an older Onkyo model) and have in my opinion, sounded simply brilliant on every occassion.

For purely academic interest, during the prolonged design process for the 7000s, we used NAD, Naim and Yamaha amplifiers.
