About this item

• Hifi Surround Sound Speakers: Experience sensational home theater audio with a pair of Concept 500 floor standing speakers. Higher power handling, reduced compression from large mid/bass voice coils, and a decoupled high frequency driver deliver pure audio excellence. Suitable for bi-wiring/bi-amping with terminals that take bare wires/spades/0.16" banana plugs - 6.6ft speaker cable included.
• Quiet Cabinet Design: The stereo speakers' Gelcore cabinet construction reduces higher frequency noise, and the rear access panel is designed to preserve the cabinet's integrity. P2P internal bracing stiffens the cabinet to minimize lower frequency panel vibrations.
• Interference-Free Tower Speakers: HPE technology eliminates sympathetic resonance within the big speaker enclosures by equalizing air pressure within the cabinet. The cast aluminium base has no large flat areas or additional adornments to cut unwanted acoustic reflections, and carefully engineered feet immovably couple the speaker to any surface.
• Loud Speaker Specifications: Bass Unit: 6.5", Treble Unit: 1.1", Frequency Response (-6dB): 41 Hz - 30 kHz, Nominal Impedance: 6 Ω, Minimum Impedance: 3.7 Ω, Sensitivity (2.83V @ 1kHz): 90 dB/w/m, Crossover Frequency: 2.5 kHz
• What You Get: 2 x Concept 500 Floorstanding Speakers (H46.2 x W15.7 x D14.8 in, 92.6 lbs each), 1 x Pre-Terminated Speaker Cable (6.6 ft), 2 x Jumpers, 2 x Cleaning Cloths, 8 x Ball End Feet, 8 x Spike Feet, 2 x Two Part Foam Bungs, 1 x Owners Manual

• Q Acoustics High-End Concept 500 Floorstanding Loudspeakers

  Founded in 2006, Q Acoustics quickly built a reputation for designing and manufacturing class-leading loudspeakers. Concept 500 is the culmination of Q Acoustics continual evolution and refinement resulting in what we believe is sonic perfection.

  Designed to appeal to discerning audiophiles, the Concept 500 achieves a perfect balance between art and science. It is a loudspeaker that is at once, stylish, contemporary, fine-sounding and astonishingly accurate. It couples low directivity with wide bandwidth, good sensitivity and sensible impedance.

  This makes the new Concept 500 both room-friendly and an easy load to drive, allowing amplifiers to deliver their best performance.

  To create a stereo soundstage which gives as good an impression of width, depth and height as that found in a live performance requires high quality drive units, a well designed crossover and an accurately constructed cabinet. To achieve this, Q Acoustics formed a truly talented team with many years of experience in the design, engineering and manufacture of world-class loudspeakers. A combination that resulted in a state-of-the-art loudspeaker worthy of any high-end system.

  Technology Behind Concept 500 Speakers

• 

• Terminals and Rear:

  Access Panel - The rear access panel has been constructed to maintain the integrity of the Dual Gelcore cabinet. The Concept 500 is equipped for bi-wiring or bi-amping with terminals which can accept bare wires, spades or 4 mm banana plugs.

  Cabinet Plinth:

  The cast aluminium base of the Concept 500 is designed without large flat areas or additional adornments to discourage unwanted acoustic reflections. The resulting elegant design is underpinned with a choice of carefully engineered feet to immovably couple the loudspeaker to any surface.

  Concept 500 is the embodiment of elegant design, compatible with a contemporary living space and not specific to any particular style of interior. The appearance has been pared-back to be as clean looking as possible, with rear-mounted mid / bass drivers keeping the baffle uncluttered and embedded magnets securing the grille so no fixings are visible.

  Gloss black or gloss white finishes have each been combined with Italian realwood veneer, chosen for its consistency in color and pattern. The veneer is used sparingly in a subtle strip to create a cabinet that is visually light and clean. The white gloss finish has been attractively paired with pale oak and the black gloss with deep rosewood. Multiple coats of lacquer have then been added to give a deep piano gloss finish.
