uilding a sound system on a
tight budget and high hopes?
Cast your eyes and ears on Q
Acoustics’ newest and biggest
passive bookshelf speaker, the 3030i.
These stylish speakers deliver an acoustic
performance way out of proportion to their
$399-per-pair price tag.
Designed in Britain, the Q Acoustics
