Do you think the 3030i would be equivalent to the 3050i in a 5.1 setup? The 3050i cinema pack gets stellar reviews, where the floorstanders seems to really shine by providing a very wide soundstage and enough bass extension to complement the sub. Apart from the lower sensitivity, which probably means the amp would need to show a bit more muscles, do you think the 3030i will do the same job in terms of soundstage and bass extension? The 3020i would probably be too short on both. Cheers for your great reviews!

Excellent review.I'm not into forward (in your face)sounding speakers. So i bought a year ago Q 3030i with Yamaha a-s 501.I was very worry maybe the sound turn out to be too bright for me.Ηappily the sound is laid back.The highs are crystal but not offencive,the mids are warm and revealingly and the bass deep and strong (in my room).In some movies bass gets very low frequencies like a subwoofer!The whole room is shaking!!So i don't have to spend more money for a subwoofer. Like i said i was worry about the synergy between them but Yamaha A-S 501 proved to be a true gem.Far better speakers than wrfs 12.2.

Thanks for the nice review ! At that price, sure, 3030i is the best choice. But in my country, the 3050i are nicely discounted (it costs 400 euros, where 3030i costs 250 euros). So I guess it worth the difference because, even if 3030i and 3050i would sound exactly the same, the acoustic stands costs more than 100 euro. So, 3050i is my choice :) Regarding the amp, do you thing an old Yamaha A-S500 would be enough ? Thank you !

I'm moving to an apartment with neighbours below and I have the Q Acoustics 2050is. I love them to bits but I'm thinking floor standers will be quite a disturbance to my neighbours when the bass rumbles through their ceiling! Would a pair of 3030is be a good solution, perhaps with the stands and without a subwoofer? Thanks!

On review units, I don't consider it at all because I don't own them. Full disclaimer if you open your speakers it can void the warranty so beware! On my own speakers it depends on how easy it is to access the internals. The 3000i do not have outward facing screws so I'm more wary of just pulling the binding post because it could damage something. So after that looooong explanation 😀, no I won't be doing that.

How bad would it be to put 3050i next to each corner? I'm planning to get another SVS PB2k sub and the only possible placement is the front stage and the only way I can really fit the 3050is with PB2k is by placing PB2Ks near the center channel while putting the 3050is to the outside (current fronts are 3020i which are on a shelf about 1 feet off the side wall) which would put them very near side walls. I do plan to put heavy curtains on both front side walls to absorb some of the reflections as this room sounds near bathroom levels... But in any case how bad would be to put 3050is near side walls? Ideally I'd want to put them at least a foot or two off the wall but if I do that they'd be too close to eachother and wouldn't get stereo separation -.-

The 3030 is probably excellent value for money but 3050 is not.
