I've been in search of a "reasonable" priced bookshelf for a month or more now. My budget is to stay under $600. I've sampled the B&W 685, Polk RTiA3 and Paradigm Studio 20's to give you an idea for comparing my review.

The Qi30 is a wonderful speaker with good depth and a warm tonal quality. I listened to piano solo, R&B, rock and classical on these speakers and they played the music easily. On the negative side they are not as revealing as some other higher priced speakers and the imaging could be improved, but this may be just to the setup in the store. Overall, this ranks at the top of my list for bookshelfs in my price range.
