Audiovector QR 7 Debuts at High End Munich 2022
Audiovector unveiled its "fun" QR 7 3-way floorstanding loudspeaker at High End Munich 2022 hinted at in our preview.
Audiovector's QR 7 is the new flagship of the QR series and is designed to put the fun back into playing music, we were told by Audiovector CEO Mads Klifoth.
More street racer than supercar, the Q 7 boasts a big and vibrant sound with the kind of bass that makes you want to get up and dance.
Whilst the QR 7 has a huge, room-filling sound, it still bears the hallmarks of Audiovector and has been developed, engineered and handmade in Denmark.
The QR 7 sports two 8-inch drivers and a newly developed crossover that create a hyperdynamic yet neutral-sounding speaker with a big, open soundstage.
The QR 7's 3-way system has double Pure Piston bass units with sandwich membranes, a 6-inch midrange and the Audiovector fast and agile Air Motion Transformer tweeter whose rose gold-plated dispersion mesh works as an S-Stop filter and improves driver integration. Due to its high efficiency of 90.5dB, it is easily driven – and promises to be a perfect match for both solid-state and tube amplifiers.
Audiovector says that the QR 7's enclosure is generously braced and made from high-density hardwood HDF that should offer superior strength, low resonance and elegant aesthetics. The tweeter's fascia plates are precision machined from a single piece of aerospace-grade aluminium which are then glass blasted, brushed and then anodised in a tungsten titanium grey colour.
The QR 7 perfectly matches its siblings, the QR Sub, QR Centre and easily placed QR Wall, which add up to providing a powerful home cinema system.
The QR 7 is available at an RRP of £4,950 in three finishes: White Silk, Dark Walnut and Black Piano.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
