Bookshelf Speakers — Q-Acoustics 3020i

The 3020i is a bookshelf speaker from Q Acoustics' 3000i range, closely related to the 3020c with a marginally different cabinet and power window.

Position in line

It belongs to the later 3000i generation of Q Acoustics' bookshelf hierarchy.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 64 Hz to 30 kHz, slightly higher at the low end than the 3020c. Sensitivity is 88 dB into 6 ohms with a narrower 25-75 W window. At 27.8 x 17.0 x 28.2 cm and 4.8 kg it is marginally lighter than the 3020c.

Pairing

The 88 dB sensitivity and 6 ohm load suit a modest integrated amplifier without unusual current demands, an easy amplifier match for a first serious system.

Alternatives

The 3020c is a closely related design of the previous generation, while the 3030c sits above this model in Q Acoustics' range.
