Scansonic HD Q10 Floorstanding Speaker, Walnut (Pair)

The Scansonic HD Q10 is the 3-way floorstanding flagship of the Q series, with a ribbon tweeter, carbon midrange driver and two 8-inch woofers in a bass-reflex cabinet, here in real walnut wood veneer.

The warm wood finish takes away any severity from this large three-way design – a flagship for large rooms that still feels like a piece of furniture in the living room.

Why the Q10?

Like Raidho, Scansonic HD belongs to the Danish manufacturer Dantax, and the Raidho-inspired ribbon tweeter delivers the fine, detailed top end. As a genuine three-way design, the Q10 has its own carbon midrange driver in a separate module; below it, two 8-inch woofers provide a powerful foundation.

The walnut veneer is real wood and explains the premium over the lacquered version. The technology and tuning are identical – you get the same flagship in a warmer look.

What you hear

A big, effortless performance with dry, powerful bass from two 8-inch drivers and crystal-clear, standalone mids. The Q10 renders a wide, stable soundstage and resolves the finest detail. Even at volume and in large rooms it stays controlled and composed.

The separate midrange driver makes voices especially tangible, while the ribbon tweeter adds an airy, precise top end.

Who is the Q10 for?

For listeners who want the top model of the Q series with genuine low-end extension and a warm natural material – in large rooms. Ideal with a powerful, high-quality integrated amplifier or streaming amplifier. Plain talk: with 4 ohms and two 8-inch woofers, the Q10 needs an amplifier with reserves and a room that can handle its bass. In a small room it plays below its potential.

Our verdict

The walnut version is the coziest flagship of the Q series – sonically identical to the lacquered one, visually in a class of its own. Two 8-inch woofers and a dedicated midrange driver give it depth and composure. We at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil will help you find the right amplifier and placement.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the walnut version cost more?

Because it's real wood veneer instead of a lacquered finish. Natural wood takes more effort to select and process, and every grain is unique. Sonically, the walnut version is identical – the premium is purely in the finish.

Is the price for a pair or a single unit?

The Q10 is sold in pairs; the price applies to both speakers. As a floorstanding speaker it needs no stands. So your stereo flagship is complete with a single purchase.

What's the difference between the Q10 and the Q8?

The Q10 has two 8-inch woofers instead of one, is larger and reaches deeper. That lets it fill larger rooms more effortlessly and with more foundation. The Q8 is enough for medium-sized rooms – which one fits depends on room and taste.

Which amplifier suits the Q10?

A powerful, high-quality integrated amplifier or streaming amplifier with reserves is ideal. With 4 ohms and two woofers, it rewards stable, controlled power with precise bass. Which chain suits your room is something we'll work out together.
