Audiovector QR 7 Loudspeaker $6500 Review

The Audiovector QR 7 is the best-sounding full-range loudspeaker I’ve heard at length in a familiar setting that costs less than $10k. Is it “better” than substantially more expensive products from Magico, Wilson, Von Schweikert, YG, Rockport or, for that matter, Audiovector’s larger R Series models? Probably not. But that isn’t, I feel, the question we should be asking. The QR 7 is an exceptionally overachieving product. By diligently developing alternative technologies and manufacturing practices, Audiovector provides entry to the most exalted level of performance that high-end audio has to offer. It’s a compromise…that isn’t.
