Two 5.25-inch carbon drivers handle mids and bass in a 2.5-way arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe walnut veneer is real wood and explains the premium over the lacquered versions. The technology and tuning are identical – you get the same Q3 in a warmer look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn open, finely resolved performance with silky highs, precise mids and a tonally coherent bass. The Q3 plays freely and effortlessly and stays easy to follow even with dense music. Substance rather than effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Raidho tweeter delivers a fine resolution that's rarely heard in this price class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Q3 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor listeners who want a lot of resolution for their money and a warm natural material – in small to medium-sized rooms. Ideal with a good integrated amplifier or streaming amplifier. Plain talk: in the bass it reaches down to around 52 Hz – for home cinema deep bass, better with a subwoofer or straight to the Q8\/Q10. For honest stereo, a superb entry point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe walnut version is the coziest Q3 – sonically identical to the lacquered versions, visually in a class of its own. fairaudio, sempre-audio and hifistatement praised the model, especially the tweeter.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the price for a pair or a single unit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Q3 is sold in pairs; the price applies to both speakers. As a floorstanding speaker it needs no stands. So your stereo pair is complete with a single purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow deep does the Q3 reach in the bass?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Q3 goes down to around 52 Hz, clean and coherent for music in small to medium rooms. For home cinema deep bass, a subwoofer or a larger Q model is recommended. For stereo, its low-end extension is well balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich amplifier suits the Q3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA high-quality integrated amplifier or streaming amplifier from around 50 watts is a good fit. Clean, controlled power counts more than high wattage. Which combination suits your room is something we'll work out together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Scansonic HD Q3 at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a speaker only convinces in the right chain.
