Reviews
- PC Welt Issue 4/2011 Plus; Rank 9/10 in the test: "satisfactory" (2.89) Price / performance: "good value".
- "Plus: Very clean, neutral and spatial reproduction; Good omnidirectional sound.
- Minus: Bass imprecise; Speaker terminals not CE/IEC compliant."
- stereoplay issue 1/2011; 7 products tested: "good" (68 points) Price/performance: "very good".
- "The Q 500 is the smallest column in the series and completely trimmed to delicate dimensions. It contains the small coax, flanked by a bass driver and two passive diaphragms. Fine and resolved sound like the Q 100, with a fuller substructure."
- audio issue 12/2010; 3rd/3rd place in test: sound rating: 80 points price/performance: "outstanding", "buy tip price/performance".
Plus: incredibly fine playing and sensationally natural imaging.
- Minus: At high levels a little little kick and authority."
