During Black Friday we saw the five-star Q Acoustics 5040 floorstanders drop to £879. Then in February of this year, they were discounted by a further £90. They've stayed at around the same price since then, which means you can still get them at Richer Sounds for only £789 – a saving of more than £200.
They're currently some of the best floorstanding speakers on the market, were given a full five stars in our review, and achieved a 2024 What Hi-Fi? Award for the 'best floorstanding speaker £500-£1500'. So, we like them...
We can rarely guarantee the length of a deal, so if you're looking for a pair of floorstanders at a great price, look no further than the Q Acoustics 5040.
Best Q Acoustics 5040 speakers deal
If you're searching for a sub-£1000 pair of floorstanders that don't take up loads of space but deliver the sonic goods, this is the place to start.
We're struggling to think of a more impressively entertaining and expressive pair of floorstanders at this level.
The unassumingly compact 5040 employ Q Acoustics' standard twin mid/bass driver with a tweeter in the middle layout, a configuration that has helped the brand deliver the goods in terms of sonic dispersion and integration.
The 5040's mid/bass drivers, use Q Acoustics' new 'Continuous Curved Cone', designed to balance the benefits of a standard conical cone and a traditional flared shape.
The results are spectacular.
As our Q Acoustics 5040 review attests, the 5040 are "wonderfully clear and precise, with the leading edges of notes crisply defined and rendered without any excess harshness", delivering "plenty of detail".
Their capacity to entertain is near-unmatched at this level, thrilling us with rising crescendos and evocative, well-managed ebbs to make your music sound like a real performance rather than a mechanical recording.
They are nicely made speakers on the outside, and there's a lot to be said for their refined, unobtrusive aesthetic.
What we would say is that they do need a little care with partnering, as their front-footed nature means you will want an amp or source that isn't too overenthusiastic. "Partner them with refined electronics, and you won’t go far wrong," to quote our review.
This is one of the best hi-fi speaker deals we've seen in 2025 so far, and at £789 at Richer Sounds, we think it's going to take some beating.
