About the Q Acoustics QA5042
From our tech experts at CEN
The Q Acoustics 5040 (QA5042) is a pair of compact 2-way floorstanding speakers in Satin Black, part of the Q Acoustics 5000 Series. Each cabinet houses twin 125mm bass drivers and a 25mm treble unit, with bass extension to 39 Hz (-6dB) and a frequency range up to 30 kHz. Spikes, stabilisers and magnetic grilles are included.
Who it suits
These suit listeners who want genuine floorstanding weight and scale but have limited floor space. The compact footprint makes them practical where space is tight without sacrificing bass depth. For a smaller option, the Q Acoustics 5020 bookshelf speaker is the natural step down.
Our tech experts advise
Each speaker measures 967 x 361 x 293mm (including spikes) and weighs 18.0 kg, so plan for two people on delivery. Nominal impedance is 6 Ω with a 3 Ω minimum; sensitivity is 91.5 dB/w/m, so most amplifiers rated 25–150 W will drive them comfortably. The 5040 also comes in Satin White and Rosewood.
