Quote: 'A substantial improvement on its predecessor, it's almost as if adding a simple 'i' suffix doesn't do justice to how much better the Q Acoustics 3050i really is. If you're looking for a largish, high value for money floorstander then this has to be the first model on your audition list: it may be the last too...Great value, this is the budget floorstander to beat.'

https://www.forbes.com/sites/marksparrow/2018/06/18/these-new-bookshelf-speakers-from-q-acoustics-sound-like-a-bargain/

Quote: 'The engineers at Q Acoustics have managed to create a bookshelf speaker that sounds like a floor-stander. The bass response has been extended significantly and both the mid range and treble are superbly articulated. The result is a speaker that flows beautifully and reveals so much more of the music. The construction is flawless and I have no idea how Q Acoustics manage to produce such a capable speaker at such an affordable price. Unless you want to spend twice as much, you probably won't find a better bookshelf speaker for the money. Audition the Q Acoustics 3020i… you won't regret it.'

Interesting positive review of the Acoustic Energy 100 Series 5.1 System on AVForums by Ed Selley. In a recent podcast it aligns it as a close competitor to the 3050i 5.1 as highlighted in this review.

Steve Withers review of the 3050i 5.1 pack is imminent on AVForums and based on his recent 5 star Trusted Reviews review it bodes well.

https://www.avforums.com/review/acoustic-energy-100-series-5-1-system-review.14947

Quote: 'This puts the 100 Series into a smaller grouping of speakers but one that goes up against an elephant in the room in the form of the newly released Q Acoustics 3000i Series. At the time of writing (June 2018), we haven’t tested these but given that the 3000 Series were outstanding until the day they finished production, it won’t be too great a stretch of imagination to guess that they’ll be good. As such the 100 Series has its work cut out.'
