Sometimes, the ‘obvious’ product that a company should make can be a long time coming. The circa-£1,000 speaker market is booming and you might have thought it a natural hunting ground for Q Acoustics. Some 15 years since the introduction of its original Concept range, the company is a recognised force both at entry-level price points and – thanks to the Concept 300 (HFC 448) and 500 (HFC 426) – at more premium ones too. Until recently, the space between these two points was less well covered, but the Concept 30 is the smaller of two speakers intended to bridge this gap.
