The combination of an extremely rigid cabinet and absence of excess electrical or mechanical damping beyond what is necessary gives these speakers an almost electrostatically quick midrange and treble, which neither projects nor presents a soundstage, but from which the ambience of acoustic recordings simply emerges as if from some kind of audio ether.
I’ve spilled more words on this speaker than I have on a piece of audio gear in a long time, and suffice to say, the QRC-1 have firmly pegged the pursuit in my household. Are they the best? Well, they’re the best I’ve heard for those seeking to end the pursuit of hi-fi with a speaker which tells the auditory truth in all things, or as close as we can get. I can’t think of a speaker which combines this level of transparency, speed, dynamism, and utter lack of coloration in a single package at this price point. Unless of course, you’re looking to buy another Acora…
