Fantastic set of speakers!
1 of 1 found this helpful So I'll preface this review in that I already owned a pair of Q300, which are the slightly bigger stand mount speakers in the Q range. The Q300, although big for stand mounts are exceptional speakers: imagining is great once setup; clarity across the frequency range is beautiful, and they can extend quite low (around 40Hz) whilst remaining composed. There range is a good deal better than most floor standers under £600! They do benefit from a decent pair of stands otherwise the base does get a little woolly.
As you can tell I'm a fan. Picking up the Q100 they do 95% of what their bigger brothers manage. They don't extend quite so low, but much lower than most smallish bookshelf speakers. I would say the imaging is even better than with the Q300. Can be driven hard if needs be, or happy sitting in a nearfield configuration. Planning on putting these on stands in the man cave for music, movies and gaming. If I find I miss some of the very low-end extension I will look to add a small sub, but honestly I don't think I'll be rushing out to do that just yet.
Quick comparison to my Monitor Audio MR1's (which I'm happy with pumping sound around my kitchen):
- Better imaging
- Better overall clarity
- Would consider the MR1's a little bright on the treble, whilst the Q100's seem better balanced (maybe due to less mid range clarity in the MR1's)
Given the price the Q range can be picked up for right now, I doubt you could find a better set of bookshelves or stand mounts for the money.

Awesome little beastie!
2 of 2 found this helpful I'd missed most of the hype surrounding the eee pc, and only recently discovered them whilst looking for a budget laptop. The order of the day wasn't about high specs and being Vista capable: I only really needed something to do a bit of coding on, surf the web, check email, and occasionally watch the odd avi or mpeg whilst being ultra portable.
And ultra portable this thing is! Oh my, it's just so dinky! It took just one look for my girlfriend to shout, "oh, I want too!". The guys in the office were just as surprised, and delighted at it's size. With most machines this size costing a grand, you could get 4 eee pcs!!!
I was also surprised that it does everything it says on the box, and with little or no setting up. I haven't found an open hotspot yet that I can't get a connection to! For novices, this machine would be really confidence inspiring. For someone like myself who remembers the old days of the DOS command line, this machine is even more of a joy. Having never really played with Linux myself, within an afternoon of trawling through the forums I was able to "unlock" the advanced desktop, and install a few extra packages!!! This machine is bloody awesome!!! Next task -- beryl ;)
There are always going to be compromises in the a machine of this size and spec:
It's not going to run Zista or run any really 3D intensive games,
Watching vids with subtitles is a pain on such a small screen (but I hear 8.9 inch eee pcs coming soon),
The keyboard is going to be a bit cramped for those with chubby fingers and/or vast hand spans,
There's no optical drive.
The latter two issues can be resolved however (there's 3 USB 2.0 ports so an external optical drive and keyboard/mouse combo could be added with space to spare). If all you're looking for is a properly portable machine to do pretty basic tasks, or someone interested in tinkering with Linux, or you need a cheap 2nd pc for the family, this is great and should be a serious consideration for the price.
Edit: I would go paying £350 or more for a 4GB EeePC (like I've seen on elsewhere). Even UK machines can be picked up much cheaper with a bit of looking. Happy hunting!
