Q Acoustics Concept 40
Q Acoustics floorstanding speaker with Gelcore cabinet, featuring a dual 125 mm woofer and a 25 mm wide-dispersion tweeter.
Description
The Concept 40 is a floorstanding speaker from Q Acoustics, designed in the line of the Concept 20. It is aimed at stereo or hi-fi listening enthusiasts seeking a floorstander capable of delivering an open soundstage and pronounced dynamics.
Its cabinet is built on Gelcore construction, a technique designed to limit cabinet resonance. This approach allows the drivers to operate in a more stable mechanical environment, benefiting the precision and power handling of the whole system.
The Concept 40 features a dual 125 mm woofer paired with a 25 mm wide-dispersion tweeter. This configuration aims to combine high sensitivity, favourable for dynamic reproduction, with bass extension, for a more realistic rendering as listening level increases.
This type of floorstanding speaker suits a stereo system dedicated to music listening, in a living room or listening room where a wide soundstage is sought rather than simple sound reinforcement. It fits equally well into a classic hi-fi system or a more versatile setup.
What to check before buying used
Check the Gelcore cabinet: knocks on the edges, veneer lifting or cabinet warping, which would indicate a shock or storage in a damp environment. Check that both 125 mm woofers and the 25 mm tweeter are firmly seated in their housings, without play or cracked surrounds, and listen at moderate volume to detect any rubbing or localised distortion. Also inspect the connection terminals at the rear, which can loosen or oxidise over time.
