"The extra ‘i’ appears to have brought extra sonic maturity with it, making its predecessor sound comparatively crude and less detailed by comparison. The 3010is demonstrate greater clarity and refinement, and prise open the soundstage that bit wider so instruments can site themselves more securely on it."

The 3010i is a room-filling bookshelf / standmount speaker with 100mm (4 inch) and 22mm (0.9 inch) precision drivers, which can be shelf-mounted on compliant, pre-fitted rubber feet, stand-mounted or wall-mounted on optional, dedicated stands and brackets. Focusing on power-to-size ratio, the crossover has been revised to take advantage of a larger cabinet volume to enhance sensitivity and bass extension.

Foam bungs are provided for the rear-facing ports to help with less than ideal room positioning. The level of bass can be reduced to compensate, but definition and bass extension are increased. Conventional terminal panel cut-outs have been removed, giving greatly improved structural integrity to the enclosures and new low profile binding posts have been incorporated with sockets deep enough to accept 4mm (0.16 inch) banana plugs.

Mid/Bass Driver
Whichever 3000i model you choose the cone is precision formed from impregnated and coated paper and teamed with a newly developed, low-hysteresis, rubber surround. The coated paper cone provides the optimum balance between stiffness and self- damping which means it can accelerate without flexing and stop very accurately without unwanted resonances.

High-Frequency Driver
3000i Series tweeters are decoupled from the baffle via a compliant suspension system. Vibrations from the woofer, which can impair the performance of the tweeter are isolated allowing the tweeter to perform with dramatically reduced interference.

Mounting Options
Dedicated 3000FSi speaker stands and 3000WB wall brackets are available to purchase separately. The wall bracket features tilt and turn capability, while the speaker stands have been designed to specifically fit the 3010i and 3020i speakers. They even bolt to the bottom of the speakers for extra stability.

Point To Point Bracing
Q Acoustics P2P™ (Point to Point) bracing across the 3000i series supports the parts of the enclosure that need to be stiffened making the new enclosures exceptionally rigid, improving the focus of the stereo image and giving the soundstage more accuracy than ever before.
