- The changes made over the 2000i Series justify the new model number, with improvements to cone material, tweeter design, and crossover components.
- The cabinet is super sturdy and beautifully finished, with a range of color options available.
- The 3050s deliver a huge sense of scale and are capable of enveloping a large room with ease, with a full-bodied presentation that's solid and robust across the frequencies.
- The appearance of the 3050s is not too dissimilar from the 2050is, with just slimmer and shallower dimensions.
- The black-leather finish is available for a £150 premium.

- The perfectly proportioned 3050 speaker is the flagship of the 3000 Series speakers.
