Q ACOUSTICSM20 Speakers Wireless Bluetooth HD Music System Black - Tweeter 22mm, Mid Bass/Driver 125mm, Freq. Response 55Hz–22kHz, Crossover Freq. 2.4kHz - Powered Speakers

These speakers pack a quality punch!Opening the box, the speakers are very well packaged for transit. Lifting them out the box as instructed was exciting and surprising. Each speaker is quite heavy and has a very solid construction. Great to look at. Simple elegant design, mesh covers over the cones giving a classy finish. Inside the accessories box is 4m of speaker wire, 2 x mains cables ( one for each region), foam Bungs x 2 and the remote control. Assembling them is a piece of cake! There is a comprehensive user manual, but you don’t really need it. Assembly is very straight forward. On the back of the units there are the speaker out terminals, which you unscrew the nut insert the wire as instructed and tighten the nut. Make sure you have the + - aligned both ends. There are no other connections or switches on the passive speaker. On the active speaker there are two switches, one to identify whether the speaker is left or right, the other is for the bass, you toggle the switch to allow the digital equaliser to compensate for the speaker position ie in a corner, near a wall…. The photo I’ve shown completely set up is for aesthetics, ideally you want these 1st class speakers to be 2m or more apart. I have them directly connected to a pre amp turntable with an RCA connection, and together they have brought my vinyl collection back to life. The sound is incredible! There are also outlets for USB Optical, Aux and sub woofer enabling you to plug in other media like your games console or TV etc. There is also the operation and volume control on the top of the active speaker, which are flush with the unit and don’t detract from the sleek exterior of the unit.When you initially turn on the speakers, you need to make a selection from either the remote control or the control square on the top of the active speaker. If you’re playing a record, select ANA and the control square on the top of the active speaker will turn Green. Simple. To pair your speakers with your phone or other Bluetooth device, press and hold the BLU button on the remote and the control square on top of the unit will flash and search for your device. When paired and using this mode the control square will be Blue. It’s very easy then to control the volume and playback from the remote control, you can Play Pause, FFwd & Rewind. The sound is exceptional from these speakers. Crisp and full. I’m not an expert, but you can hear the quality of that makes sense? I am very happy with this purchase. Easy to install, easy to operate, very easy on the ear! 5* High quality kit! For a home user - I won’t ever need to upgrade!

I'd previously purchased a pair of Kanto YU2 for computer setup, but was dissapointed in them and found them fatiguing to listen to. I wondered if I'd be better of with some active book shelf speakers and having previously owned the Q Acoustic BT3s, I thought I'd give the M20s a chance. These are fairly big speakers for a desk and computer (especially the depth), so you need a fair bit of space for them.I'll start with a few minor issues. One appealing feature for a computer setup is that these speakers have a USB connection. The manual indicates that when connected via USB, playing audio will wither bring the speakers out of standby or if already on, switch them to the USB input. With my Macbook, I've found this does not work. Additionally, on Mac at least, you can't control the volume of them from the OS, it has to be done on the speakers/remote - interestingly the mute, pause/play and skip tack buttons all do work.Simply they sound fantastic - really good - they genuinely make me happy. They have plenty of connections and were easy to connect up to my sub, turntable and Nintendo Switch. They look very smart. The remote is minimal, but well designed.I'm very tempted now to get some M40s for my TV.

Bought these besides a pair of Klipsch The Fives speakers (£899) for comparison as I had settled on either of those two speakers for my PC setup (music, Netflix and gaming) after reading loads of reviews. I fully expected to like the Klipsch more but in the end I kept the M20.The Klipsch simply have too much bass, even if cut down. The M20 seem to sound right just out of the box. Whenever I switched between the two, I was amazed by the wide soundstage and the clarity that the M20 provide. In direct comparison after switching I sometimes thought they have a slight harshness to them but that feeling went away after listening for a minute. They very much benefit from connecting a subwoofer though. I'm running a Q Acoustics 3070S and I'm very happy with the overall sound. Rounded off with great connectivity and a sleek design, you can do nothing wrong with these speakers for the price.My only gripe is the volume control. The Fives have an amazingly responsive wheel for volume control which makes it super easy to set them exactly where you want them in an instant. The M20 have buttons and sometimes I feel I need to press them a lot when switching between music and Zoom calls. Some volume steps also seem to be uneven jumps. But I can forgive this slightly annoying detail in the face of the value these speakers have to offer.
