Q Acoustics Concept 20 Bookshelf Speaker Gloss Black

Q Acoustics Concept Series

Since the beginnings of ‘Hi-Fi’ over fifty years ago, it has been known that loudspeaker cabinet resonance is a major factor limiting a hi-fi system’s sonic performance. Fortunately it is very easy to overcome; you simply have to spend a very large amount of money designing and constructing heavy, dense, high mass cabinets with lots of internal bracing. The result should be excellent, but very expensive, ‘high end’ loudspeakers. In fact the difference between speakers that are rated merely as ‘good’ and those accepted to be truly excellent ‘high end’ models, is their level of cabinet resonance. Q Acoustics Concept Series changes everything.

What is Gelcore™?

The ‘Concept 20’ proves cabinet resonance need be a problem no longer.

Gelcore Speakers

Incorporating a ‘cabinet within a cabinet’ design, its inner and outer enclosures are bound together by a bespoke adhesive which never quite sets. This configuration (known as Gelcore™ construction) allows the kinetic energy generated by the drive units within the cabinet to be dispersed as heat and preventing them colouring and degrading the speaker’s musical output.The ‘cabinet within a cabinet’ Gelcore™ construction dramatically reduces resonances and colouration.

Combine this new cabinet design with the Concept 20’s advanced, high dynamic, low distortion drive units and the result is a loudspeaker which, at its price, is nothing short of sensational.”
