Strength:
My dealer recomended these to me [they sell alot of them] it is paired with a Eclipse head unit!!And a outboard 4 channel amp.They play loud,have excellent sounstage and imaging.Name recognition,was also a factor they make HIGH QUALITY home speakers and have been around a long time.They sound as accurate as the source material you feed it.Well worth the $$$
Weakness:
Again it come's down to price However pricey they sound TREMENDOUS.Warranty was another selling point.No weaknesses that I have found yet!!! There sound is top notch can deliver BIG sound and play LOUD over extended periods without getting fatiquing.Ihave these paired [twice] with a 4 channel power amp and they sound airy , an open yet DEEP extended soundstage can be had.It was money well spent.They are as accurate as what you feed it ,they will reveal the subtle naunces in c/d 's you did not know were there.I drive 45 miles 1 way to work daily so this system get's a real work out!!!!!Buy them you'll love um!!!!!!

Strength:
Very clean sound. Last years IASCA regional judges rated them as the cleanest imaging they had heard.
Weakness:
Very pricey, but worth every penny I paid $680. Have recommended them to several people and will continue to do so. Similar Products Used: Kicker components...no comparison, the Q's are incredible!! |

Strength:
The finned forged Aluminum basket on the speaker and composite surround material added to the tweeter. In US Dollars i paid 680. These new Q's are very pleasant and wonderfully constructed. The sound quality and imaging is outstanding, even in stock locations. I have also the older competition model of MBQ, the RSB218's, there is a difference between the two, the construction of the Q Series is much improved than the RSB referenz comps. Also the SPL is a bit higher on the Q's and the tweeters are more smooth/pleasant to the ears right out of the box, though with proper tweaking, the older tweeters would sound just as smooth and pleasant. Its all in the matter of how it is installed as well as tweaking. Overall, im very pleased with the new speakers by MB QUART. The Q series is highly recommended, but to truely know, one must go and listen for themselves. Similar Products Used: Dynaudio |

Strength:
Very clear,precise good imaging
Weakness:
Very very expensive, not as musical as one might expect I bought the MB Q's as i thought with out a doubt that they were the best full stop. Believe me when i say that I have heard them all( well i thought i had) now im not saying the Q's arent good but I then got to hear the older MB competitions- There was no comparison those compettions are absolutely outstanding.

I recently did much listening to different top line speakers, which include Diamond Hex, Boston Pro's, Image Dynamics Chameleon, and JL Audio. My choice was the MB QUART Q Series QM218.61Q. the construction of the speaker is not only beautiful, but the imaging and sound is just magnificent. Smooth highs, clean midrange, and superb midbass. If your looking for the best, well look no farther. |

Definitely a well finished product. May not suit everyone's tastes. There are those crazy few out there that will hate anything with MB Quart written on it... Unbelievable imaging capability, soundstage is set just right even with the speakers in stock locations. Paired with an EQ and good subwoofers, perfect RTA is easily accomplished. |
