Scansonic "Q" series

I am a Scansonic and Margules dealer and heard the Q10 at AXPONA powered by the Margules I-240. It was very good and makes for a richer, fuller sound compared to the MB-B series, especially in the midbass and midrange. I liked the sound so much but wanted a smaller form factor, so I purchased the Q8 in walnut that were on display. They look as good in real life as they do in the studio pictures. I will be receiving it this Monday or Tuesday.  

FWIW, The Scansonic MB-2.5B is probably the best speaker you can buy under $5K as long as the room isn’t too big for it. With the proper amplification to wake them up, I find they sound wonderful in even medium sized rooms (~18’x22’). 

I'm very curious about the sound of the Q8. I await your review after you have listened to them

@yukio Give me a few days to burn them in, but I did receive them yesterday and set them up to run in for a few nights. Out of the box they sound lovely. Very punchy and articulate, images well, with a richer mid bass and midrange.

Interestingly, I find the MB-2.5 to have a richer tonality than the MB-5B, probably because it uses its down-firing port to add to the midbass. The MB-5B sounds a bit leaner and more articulate. My first impression of the Q8 is that it at least retains the speed and performance of the MB-5B while also retaining the tonal richness of the MB-2.5B.

The Q8 also look excellent in Walnut. I’ll post pics in the coming days. More to come.
