I'm looking to buy a pair of these speakers. I don't have a TV - they will be used only for listening to music.

Does anyone have these already? What are your thoughts having owned them? Any other recommendations?

I've heard them; typical Q Acoustics sound to me, bvery good, but could do better

I've never thought Q Acoustics low end is good enough; always seems to sound a bit wooly to my ears and 'chuffy' at times

Not as taut as it could be...

But that's my hearing/my tastes in music.

Much preferred the likes of the Dali Oberon 5s, AE Acoustic 120s and the Fyne Audio floorstanders (superb speakers)

Personally for that budget; I'd be seriously considering these via RS at £899 if you join their club:

The 303i floorstanders are absolutely superb also and well within budget:

Can you demo first? What will they be paired with?
Thanks for this - will definitely check these out. I looked at Fyne also.

There is a Richer Sounds store near me so I plan on going there and giving them a test hopefully.

I'd highly recommend Fyne Audio; I had their 302's for my office system with my NAD C320BEE integrated and then a Cyrus One Cast integrated and they were absolutely superb
Brilliant. Thanks very much.
