Are you looking for your first bookshelf speakers or an upgrade for your current hi-fi setup? This early Black Friday deal on the compact Q Acoustics 5010 could be the bargain you’re after.

The 5010 retain Q Acoustic’s trademark minimalist design thanks to their rounded-off edges and signature front baffle, but they’re in no way flimsy. In fact, during testing, we noted how weighty and solid they felt compared to the five-star Bowers & Wilkins 607 S3.

The 5010 are equipped with a 25mm tweeter that is based on the same design as found in Q Acoustics’ Concept series, and an 11cm driver with a vented inner chamber to reduce distortion and improve clarity.

These work together beautifully to produce a sound that we find “immensely cohesive”. To our ears, the 5010 “pull music together expertly, giving tracks a balanced, ordered impression”, and while they may lack the same snap as the Dali Oberon 1, the 5010's make up for this with weightier bass than their five-star rivals.

£150 is a massive saving, too, making a pair of affordable speakers truly terrific value in the runup to Black Friday. Grab yourself a great deal on a solid pair of standmounts at Peter Tyson or Sevenoaks.
