Audiovector Brand Background Audiovector has been creating loudspeakers since 1979 and has grown significantly in recent years. The brand is known for its Scandinavian design approach and its tailored upgrade paths across its speaker ranges. Tailored Upgrade Philosophy The R-Series offers Signature, Avantgarde or Arreté levels with tiered improvements. The QR-Series provides a streamlined selection with options ranging from compact standmounts to floorstanders, a centre channel, sub and wall mount speaker to suit both stereo and home cinema setups. QR 5 Speaker Overview The QR 5 is a large three-way speaker featuring twin bass drivers, a midrange driver and a distinctive tweeter. It delivers high-end styling and performance, with exceptional build and finish quality. Gold Leaf AMT Tweeter Featuring an Air Motion Transformer tweeter framed with an aerospace grade aluminium fascia and a rose gold plated dispersion mesh that functions as an S-Stop filter inspired by professional recording pop filters for smoother and sweeter high frequencies. Piston Bass and Midrange Drivers The mid and bass drivers feature a sandwich membrane using soft damping material between aluminium layers shaped into an inverted dome piston. The midrange operates in its own enclosure and handles frequencies before handing over to the tweeter. Advanced Bass Port and Plinth Design A slot shaped front bass port fires onto a fixed plinth with an air gap, ensuring more consistent performance across floor types and reducing sensitivity to wall placement. Build and Finish Quality The cabinet features a real wood veneer with curved corners for a modern design aesthetic. Optional finishes include dark walnut, silk white or piano black, with magnetically attached grilles for protection and a clean appearance. System Setup and Positioning Strategic toe-in positioning delivers the best audio imaging and clarity. The design allows flexible placement, even closer to rear walls, without the compromises found in rear-ported speaker designs. Listening Performance The QR 5 delivers rich texture, detail and realism across music genres. The synergy between the tweeter and midrange provides clarity, balance and immersive staging without harshness even at higher volumes. Sound Signature The QR 5 provides warmth, depth and scale alongside precision and detail retrieval. Bass performance is controlled with excellent punch and sustain, creating a balanced and engaging listening experience. Overall Experience The QR 5 stands out as a refined and powerful three-way loudspeaker offering a detailed, balanced and spacious soundstage. It combines musicality and precision, making it suitable for listeners seeking high value and performance.
