The Concept 40 is Q Acoustics' flagship floor standing speaker. It is the newest addition of the acclaimed, award winning Concept range and, like so many Q Acoustics models, delivers an unparalleled sonic performance at its price. We firmly believe the Concept 40 sets new standards, even outperforming many speakers in higher price brackets. Exceptional sound / In common with the Concept 20, its award-winning ‘little brother', the new Concept 40's extraordinary soundstage, dynamics and sheer musicality is achieved by incorporating its bespoke drive units into a ‘GelcoreTM Construction' cabinet. This State-of-the-Art, ultra-low resonance and beautifully lacquered cabinet design allows the drive units to perform at their very impressive best. Low distortion / The low distortion drive units incorporate powerful oversized magnets to ensure wide dynamics and an ultra-fast transient response. The elegant tripod stand allows the Concept 40 to achieve perfect rigidity and floor contact which further enhances its performance. form with function / Even the speaker's attractive aluminium facia plate is not purely decorative. It's part of an assembly which clamps a butyl rubber sheet to the front panel to reduce cabinet resonance still further. Amp friendly / With 90dB sensitivity and a nominal impedance of 8 ohms, the Concept 40 is easily driven by any good quality amplifier.
