Q Acoustics 7000i Slim 5.1 Speaker Package
Q Acoustics 7000i Slim 5.1 Home Cinema Speaker System
Q Acoustics has built an enviable reputation by consistently introducing innovative models which set new standards of sonic performance at their respective price points. Without question, the 7000i Slim Series 5.1 speaker package continues this highly successful formula. They are small, look beautiful and deliver an audio quality previously thought unattainable for ‘style’ speakers in the sub £1,000 price sector.
The Q7000i is very similar in appearance to the multi award winning Q7000 package however Q Acoustics have made a substantial leap forward when compared with the predecessor. Indeed, they are now so good that, unlike many competitors, they reproduce music just as well as they convey home cinema soundtracks.
At first sight the 7000i package appears to be an elegant ‘Subwoofer and 5 x Satellites’ combination, but this is misleading because the 7000i’s three front and two rear speakers are in fact high power, full range models, albeit with the limited bass extension you would expect to find with any small bookshelf design.
To achieve their elegant appearance, the infinite baffle enclosures are cast in aluminium and damping materials are applied internally to eliminate any cabinet resonances. Each speaker boasts twin, custom designed, 75mm, ultra long throw bass/midrange drivers. The bespoke tweeter is a 25mm, Neodymium magnet, ‘Ring Radiator’ model. The outstanding dispersion characteristic of this advanced design creates a wonderfully three dimensional sound stage for both music and home cinema, as well as delivering very smooth and detailed high frequencies.
Each speaker also benefits from an adjustable, integral stand in the same finish. This can be configured to become either a wall or ceiling bracket and includes a clever cable management system to hide the speaker cable.
The small, slim and attractive 7060 subwoofer is revolutionary. Q Acoustics’ engineers have developed a new variation to the traditional ‘infinite baffle’ design solution. It delivers an outstandingly controlled, detailed and dynamic bass sound and also enables ease of placement within the listening room.
The 7060 subwoofer features an 8 inch (200mm) high excursion bass driver and 150 watt Class-D power amplifier ensuring deep, powerful bass reproduction. This clever subwoofer is floor or wall mountable.
All in all this adds up to a ground breaking home cinema speaker system that is capable of producing breath taking sound quality for both movies and music whilst at the same time integrating into rather than taking over your living space.
