In Spider-man 3, as Peter Parker bursts through an office building window, there was a tremendous synergy with the Elac - as the whole room seemed to twinkle with shattered glass. It was the Q that sounded poorest with this track - it's not the most audiophile mix but once the chorus kicked in the sound was actively unpleasantįinally, I turned to home cinema where the Elac slipped comfortably into my Frankenstein home system consisting of a Canton sub, Klipsch Atmos speakers, and SVS rears. It wasn't boring but the song didn't leap at me the way the B&Ws did. With this and other rambunctious tracks the Debut's kept me at a distance. Turning to arena rock, I put on Foals' Mountain at my Gates, and the Debuts finally betrayed their acoustic leanings. But it was the Debut Reference stopped me in my tracks: that over-etched sound was gone, and just the haunting performance remained. With the Q Acoustics on my speaker stands the 3030i made the leading edges of his voice seem processed in a way I hadn't heard before.
The Elac Reference came out ahead again with the simple guitar and voice of Ben Harper's Widow of a Living Man. The B&W was the brightest - particularly with the shakers - and its sound quality was somewhere between the Debut and the 3030i, but without the detail retrieval of the former. 100% Music Direct Guaranteed.The Q Acoustics 3030i offered the greatest sense of space in this expansive recording and an excellent sound stage, even if the bottom end was a little flabby sounding. Most importantly, it will bring luxurious levels of emotionalism, clarity, and insight to a three-channel or surround setup. Needless to say, the 22.26-pound unit easily fits in most spaces. Measuring 9.52 x 20.74 x 7.28 inches (HWD), with 86db sensitivity and a 55Hz-35kHz frequency response, the two-way bass reflex design also has a CARB2-rated MDF cabinet, five-way metal binding posts, and a magnetic fabric grille. In sum, quite a debut by any name, Reference or otherwise. Jones' one-inch cloth dome tweeter sings. New, full-perimeter bracing joins the top and side panels all the while lessening cabinet colorations. Two new, 5.25-inch cast chassis woofers – loaded with oversized ceramic magnets for powerful bass aramid fiber cones for control a woven fiber spider for excellent linearity and stability low carbon-steel top and bottom plates for high magnetic conductivity and a butyl rubber surround for inherent damping – minimize resonances and supply robust, full, dynamic extension. A dual flared slot port increases bass output and dynamics. A new waveguide and open-grill design improve high-frequency response.
