Can we finally stop pretending that wireless loudspeakers offer an inferior listening experience. The desire to sell high-end audio systems consisting of expensive boxes made of ticky tacky has become an impediment to the growth of the next generation of audiophiles and brands like Q Acoustics are working very hard to offer the best possible passive and wireless loudspeakers for less. And they are succeeding. Jamie McKay, Sales & Marketing Director, and Nick Renshaw, PR Manager, of Q Acoustics join us on this edition of the eCoustics podcast to discuss their award-winning 5000 series loudspeakers ($749 – $1,999/pair) and the new M40 wireless micro-towers ($999/pair at Amazon) that are going to turn a lot of heads. High-end audio is evolving and it’s time to cut the cord.

Enjoyed this…nice to put faces/names to companies and hear their rationale for what and why they build the way they do. This industry is ripe for companies like this that realize that resources are limited for the majority.
