Q Acoustics Concept 20 review

A 2-way reflex speaker, the Concept 20s use a 125mm bass driver and a 25mm tweeter. They stand 26cm tall, by 28cm deep and 17cm wide, and weigh 5.6kg.

The company claims to have addressed the fundamental problem of distortion caused by resonance, with a completely new design.

The cabinets incorporate "Gelcore Construction". Described as "a cabinet within a cabinet" and promising ultra-low resonance.

Q Acoustics claims the design means a reduction in radiated power – which in turn leads to colouration – of more than -6dB to midrange frequencies. In the high and low frequencies, the effect is said to be even greater.

The product has a choice of two finishes, gloss white or gloss black, and has a UK suggested retail price of £350 per pair.

Q Acoustics will be showing off the Concept 20 speaker for the first time at the The Bristol Show (22nd to 24th February). The speakers are due on sale in mid-March.
