Great review thank you I was looking at using these as PC speakers as they are active and have their own internal DAC (so a nice neat all in one solution). However I am unsure if I can use headphones with them as there is no obvious headphone jack out (Like in the front mounted Audioengine HD3 noted at 7.44). Anyone know how I can do this as I do NOT want to plug into the PC itself ?
This could be a solution to my problem. I bought the Triangle AIO Twins. Unfortunately they produce a squeaking sound (bit like coil whine) which is very distracting.
How do they perform connected with USB, in particular with MacBook Pro? I heard they if they don't audio for 20 mins they turn off and don't turn off? I'm interested in attaching them with Dell U2723QE display connected to my MacBook via a Thunderbolt 4 cable.
@@rocky258258did you trial a few? I’m trialling the much lauded triangle AIO twins but difficult to tell if they’re £700 worth of audio to my ears without a reference point. Might pick up the M20s to test against.
Great sounding speakers, Slightly annoying tho that these dont auto power on when I turn my TV on via AUX, something my cheap Creative T20's did no problem
It has good mid-bass performance but pairing these with a decent subwoofer would be the way to go as the low-end cutoff could be distracting to some people. They still sound good overall though.
i havnt read through anyone elses comments as i havnt had the time YET, i will , i have just purchased these speakers , , and have just seen a negative comment on the amazon page , no EQ, , that for me is a massive no go , as i am trading in my denon amp and wharfedale speakers, to save on space , and to be honest im not the most BT user. so i wont be streaming much music from a phone or other device, , is there a solution for this , or could you recommend speakers that are just as good , but have EQ built in , ? great video thankyou , any advice and help would be much apprciated. thank you
Thanks for the review! I want to buy the M20 speakers, but I am worried about what I read regarding the power saving feature. I want to connect them to my TV, via Bluetooth (or optical). As I understand, after 20 minutes of no sounds coming to speakers, they enter in standby mode. In the manual it only says you can wake them via the remote control or the controls on the main speaker. Is it true? I mean, don't they just turn on if signal/sounds come back to them? Because if it's so... I will have to give up on them. I wanted them to "just work" whenever I start my TV, or my movie, or play some music, without me needing to wake them. Can you please confirm this issue? Thanks again!
I own a pair. They need to be manually brought out of standby by either pressing the button on the primary speaker or by using the remote. An input signal will not work.
@@MonkY2k2 I agree. Apparently, you can thank the EU for that as they are mandating this behavior from manufacturers. I have a set of KEF EGGs with the same issue. That being said, as with the KEFs, you might just have to ignore that shortcoming as they're likely the best speakers you're going to find without spending crazy money.
@@larryh9525 it's actually a good thing the EU requires manufacturers to use standby mode when not in use. The problem is most of them won't use the wake-up features too. I've had to choose between the M20 from Q Acoustics, the A5+ Wireless from Audioengine, Kanto YU6 and some Edifiers (R1855DB if I'm correct). From all of them, only the M20 had the standby issue, so... I ended up with the Edifiers. Which, for the same money, I even got a T5 subwoofer included. Fun fact: i hooked them all to a Fiio BTA30 Pro Bluetooth receiver with standby feature (i liked the sound spectrum way more than using the default speaker's DAC), and now they all wake-up as soon as I turn on my TV or switch between audio outputs. I love the switch option as now I can actually compare 3 sound profiles from 3 audio systems in a matter of seconds - my TV speakers, my 5.1 surround system (Yamaha receiver + PSB), and my 2.1 Edifiers. And might sound really strange, but the Edifiers surprised me (in a good way - specially for how much the whole setup costs).
@@MonkY2k2 I'm glad you found a solution. For me, I would have gone with the M20s, and like with the KEFs, just had to deal with turning them on manually when hooked up to a TV. However, I did notice that with BT, the KEFs did come on as soon as my computer connected to them. I wonder if some newer TVs that work with BT would auto-turn on the KEFs. Since I like to have music on when I enter a room, I typically will stream something from Qobuz on them even when I'm gone to stop them from turning off. BTW, for music streaming, are you familiar with the Wiim Mini Hi-Res music streamer. The sound, if you have a streaming service (Qobuz, Tidal, Amazon, etc...) is excellent when using its optical out to an optical in on a DAC.
I've used a Logitech Z5500 for the last 15 or so years while PC gaming, watching movies and listening to all kinds of music and loved it. Is this pair of speakers a good upgrade. Also this or Audioengine A5? Thanks!
@@nicolaevalentintudor8639 Apparently the Klipsch have a very muddled soundstage and poor bass response. Both the LSX and the M20 will be better with detail and organisation.
@@Birmingham_racing Had to go blindfolded with my purchase depended on such reviews since we don’t get much options to do auditions where I’m. Went ahead with the option from Triangle HiFi
Just purchased them due to this excellent review. Got them for £319.
Great review thank you

could pls compare them to a pair of Sonos ones????
This could be a solution to my problem. I bought the Triangle AIO Twins. Unfortunately they produce a squeaking sound (bit like coil whine) which is very distracting.
Im in the same situation! Do u like your triangles aside from the whine?
I'm curious about how these compare to the Kanto YU4's: Has anyone done a comparison or experienced both and can make some comments? Thanks!
More curious about how they compare to the YU6 really because they are the same price point with the same size drivers. YU4s are cheaper and smaller
I see you have clubbed these with a Sonos sound bar for the TV( @ 1:37). So a separate sub can be avoided ? please suggest
Can anyone recommend a good value pair of floor stands for these Q Acoustic M20s?
That was a great review very helpful thanks mate 👍
Glad it was helpful!

Please suggest for pure sound that I buy a pair of sonos five or q acoustics m20.
What about adding a wiim mini to use AirPlay or for tidal connect ?
Excellent review Sir, befitting of a 5 Star set of speakers 👏👏👏👏👏
appreciate including the sound test
Between this or Klipsch the Fives which one would you pick sir? Greetings from Panama
yo, have you decided on which you buy yet?

Why are the black 50 Euro more expensive, than the white and walnut versions ( in Germany)
Are these better than sonos beam g2 + 2 sonos one?
How do we connect the M-20s with Blu ray player or a Media player which do not have Optical or RC connections. They have HDMI outs only.
HDMI to RCA converter cable/adapter
How do these speakers compare to the Dynaudio Xeo2?
I would like to know how there compare to something like audio pro c10
How do these compare to LSX II?
Has anyone in this thread comp'ed these with the Edifier s2000mkiii's ?

I have this speakers, to sound better ,need 100% Subwoofer
What subwoofer have you paired with them? Looking to upgrade mine as recommended
@@mathewpearlman5378 any will be an improvement. go with go with REL or SVS if u can afford it.
@@stevenholt5484 REL TZero....ore T9?
If you can sugesd.
Thanks...
@@zorankalina4399 Either one, you really can't go wrong with REL.

The EQ has to be produced from its/an alternative 'source'.

Thanks!
What did you go for?
does this speakers support aptx hd or Ldac ?
Aptx hd yes, ldac no.
The Argon Audio Forte A5 MK2 is a good alternative and you need no Sub.
Looks like a LSX50, M20, Klipsch The 5's comparo is in order
Klipsch No 1
Psb alpha AM5 are also good for the similar price point. Would be great for comparison.
@@nicolaevalentintudor8639 Apparently the Klipsch have a very muddled soundstage and poor bass response. Both the LSX and the M20 will be better with detail and organisation.
Hi! Which speaker stands are you using?
Hi Carlos, we were using the Bowers & Wilkins STAV24 stands. Hope that helps!
550 eu in Spain.
Just ordered a pair off you. Same price as the jungle site.
Thanks for the support and you won't be disappointed, the M20 is a great product :-)
these now cost 440 pounds or 500+ euros ,
which is a bit much for my liking

What?
@@Birmingham_racing Had to go blindfolded with my purchase depended on such reviews since we don’t get much options to do auditions where I’m. Went ahead with the option from Triangle HiFi
is it good ideea to judge the sound of a speaker based on an yt recording of someone else playing music on it?
@@paulprodan5500 Definitely not
Had a pair since October. Sound fantastic and struggled to find much better around the £400 price point

And why does that matter at all?
bro, literally 80% of the stuff is made in China nowadays
