      I changed from z906 to Q Acoustics 2000 series a few years ago. Both a previous generation relative to this comparison but otherwise a similar change.

      I enjoyed my z906 for years but for audio clarity the difference changing to something decent like these Q Acoustics is startling. Literally. Listening to Cold Chisel's Saturday Night, during the song opening when there is background voices, there is one point where the background voice gets a bit louder. The first time I listened to this, I jumped in my chair because I thought there was somebody in the room!

      For mid to high frequencies, I find the difference to be like your ears suddenly becoming unblocked.

      Keep in mind of course that the bass will be nothing like the sub that comes with the Logitech. Regardless of whether you enjoy the relatively boomy bass of those subs or not, bookshelf speakers will never have the same bass presence, especially with only a 4" like in the 3010. Pair them with a sub if you still want to enjoy your bass.

    • raybies on 19/10/2018 - 17:52
      -1

      I haven't listened to them, but by the specs and unless you like tiny sound, you'll need a sub and a decent amp >50w. And since you've got to incorporate a sub you'll need an amp w/ dedicated sub out or a miniDSP.

      z5500 will 100% sound fuller and more dynamic than just the Q3010's regardless of amp.

      But if you go w/ Q3010 + Q3070S and nice amp w/ sub out or miniDSP that should be pleasing.
      Personally I would only use the Q3010's as side or rear 7.1/5.1.
      I don't play loud, I like detail and accuracy, all my audio amps are Class A (5-20w).

    • AlexF on 20/10/2018 - 12:56

      I'm currently using Logitech z5500 that I've had for many years. Am I better swapping out those speakers for these?

      No, z5500 is an all-in-one near-field surround sound system - DTS/Dolby decoder and built-in amplifier optimised for the tiny drivers in its 5 speakers. z5500 is the best there was for its intended use, but its not HiFi.

  • kiLbiL on 19/10/2018 - 15:45

    are these speakers better than edifier r1700bt which i got from a previous deal? I know edifiers are active while these are passive. Can i get better sounds with these ones say with a 100aud amp?

    • kiLbiL on 19/10/2018 - 15:59

      I would not say so in my opinion. Those Voll B44s are some sweet as speakers for the price. I have both Voll and Q acoustics. I just like spending hence I got the 3010 but I don't feel that it sounds significantly better than the Voll. Q acoustics do come with 5 yr warranty though.

    Semi thread Hijack - will be creating a new 7.1 home theatre room on a budget after we finish a reno soon. Room is roughly 4m wide x 3.4 long (couch to be placed along the 4m wall). I was thinking of 4 in-ceiling rears (purely to no clutter the room with wall mounted rears) - but would it be better from a sound experience to have 2 in ceiling and 2 rear wall mounts? These could be used for the wall mounts. Thanks in advance

    • EnALup on 19/10/2018 - 17:37

      IMHO, I Would prefer you to have 7.1 setup for dolby atmos feeling. Normally an overkill for ur room setup, but atmos is picking momentum and it is good to have it setup now.

      So have speakers in walls and ceiling.

      Not sure if these are optimal for surround speakers for sides or back wall though. Look for Paradigm package which you can normally have for 40% off in a deal.

    • sane on 19/10/2018 - 17:40
      +1

      For your rears, you are mainly looking at the higher ranges, with your base coming from elsewhere. You don't have a big room, so I might question if you need 7.1, but if you are set I'd probably look to two small conventional satellites to the sides on stands, and two small speakers in downlights to the rear. That way you can put actual lights in there if you move and they disappear. eg https://www.apollohifi.com.au/cambridge-audio-minx-c46-in-ce…

    • Dave Id on 19/10/2018 - 20:08

      If you are set up properly,yes.
      Prolly just by adjusting the volume on your XBone before the signal gets to your amplifier.

    • iwearpants on 20/10/2018 - 23:25

      You can't directly control the volume of these speakers. But you can certainly control the receiver/amp that the speaker is connected to.

      https://au.ign.com/wikis/xbox-one/How_to_Control_Your_TV_Vol…

      I don't know how extensively they support each make and model, but even though my Pioneer receiver model was not on the list, it still worked after I selected a similar model.

      AFAIK, the Media Remote emulates the IR signals that your amp/receiver remote sends.

      In effect, the Media Remote is a universal remote - albeit tethered to the XBOX One.
