Amazon’s annual Prime Day event is back for 2022. The 48-hour Summer Edition kicks off July 12 at 3 a.m. EDT and runs through July 13. However, both Amazon and other companies are offering some early deals.
Q Acoustics is a well-received speaker brand offering three interesting deals beginning July 7th and running through the Prime Day Event timeline as long as supplies last.
Deal #1: Q Acoustics M20
First up is the Q Acoustics M20 compact wireless powered speakers (Black model only). Normally priced at $599, the M20 is being offered for $499 at Amazon ($100 off – 17% savings).
What the M20 System Offers
The M20 system consists of one primary wireless powered speaker and a passive speaker. As an attached pair is no need to connect the speakers to an additional amplifier, stereo, or home theater receiver. The primary speaker includes all the amplification, wireless, and physical source connectivity. The audio signals that are needed for the secondary passive speaker are transferred from the primary speaker via standard speaker connections.
Tip: The M20 system does not have built-in streaming capability as there is no Wi-Fi or Ethernet connectivity. However, you can stream music directly to the speakers via Bluetooth from a smartphone/tablet/laptop.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggh!” That, my friends, was me doing a passable impersonation of Charlie Brown after Lucy has pulled the football away. Again.
I just purchased four Klipsch Towers, the R-820Fs and the more plebeian Synergy Black Label F-300s. I like Klipch a lot.
But I have a much beloved older and wiser brother and he is married to the most wonderful woman and I may just give in and get him a pair of the Concept 20s with stands. I know, I know…Speakers are a highly personal thing but my brother is now retired and I am not. So perhaps he would not mind these? I know this site speaks well of this company so I will speak with my sister-in-law tomorrow.
Thank you Sir Robert of Silva! I am sincere in my thanks and as the song says, how can there be any sin in sincere?

My brother has told me he is still quite happy and more than satisfied with his Polk LS70s from the early ’90s.
Who am I to argue with that? I like my Klipsch. He likes his Polks.
