Personal taste of course, but I loved the clear midrange of the RS3 (and hope the RS1 is similar here). The bass can be good if the room suits them and the hf is to taste really (just don't compare them with sweet Harbeths in the high treble although you can in the midband)

Q Acoustics are made in China and brought into the UK by distributers Armour Acoustics. IMO they nice to look at but poorly made and as for the speaker terminals underneath the box are of poor construction.

Well, the build quality on mines feels fairly substantial.
Plus they don't cost the earth, and can sound good with quality electronics.
Just my opinion of course!

I have no issue with the made in China bit. My experience of them is you get what you've paid for which in this case is not very much. However I do appreciate there is a market for inexpensive speakers and Q Acoustics may tick some peoples boxes.
The Dali's are a little more expensive but are far better made.

Ive had 2 pairs and with the right gear sound very good... they especially like big valves like kt88's. Obviously they are not going to compete with a grand set of speaks but they punch well above their weight. the build quality is excellent although I agree about the sockets on the bottom being a pain it the bottom

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Yep. I sell lots of Talk-3 with Rega and other amps. It's an excellent cable at a reasonable price.
