“Yet again, the Mu-so Qb 2 is the best premium choice”

“Though its compact dimensions may suggest differently, you really are getting a lot for your money here. Most importantly, though, the greatest value is not found in its features or design, but in a sonic performance that will effortlessly dispense of any one-box rival within a few hundred pounds of its asking price.

Naim has proven once again that in hi-fi, as with publishing, a second draft can be wonderfully transformative.”

5 Star Review

“The original Qb is still a mighty fine little speaker, but if you have the cash to spare, you won’t be disappointed by taking the step up. And for Qb newbies, you’re in for a real treat.”
