Guru Pro Audio
Swedes love music and engineering – so naturally we’re into great sound reproduction. As an example, we brought the full range mini monitor QM10 to the market. Stunningly accurate – from the lowest fundamentals of a double-bass to the highest harmonics of hi-hats – this monitor sets the new standard for compact, full-range speakers. Originally designed for professional recording studios, now finding its way into the homes of devoted and curious music lovers.
We have now extended our product range with our reference floorstander QM60. Comfortably playing down to 20Hz, with top notch resolution up to well over audible frequencies, it challenges the notion of what can be achieved by a two way system.
“You can get large but rather soft imaging from some speakers but this is not like that, in fact it’s on a similar scale to the larger B&W 802D speakers I use as a reference. They create a more precisely etched image but in terms of size and placement of musicians the two are very close.”
“This system proved remarkably adept at revealing the musical qualities of everything I played”
“Engrossing in another way was Gillian Welch’s Time (The Revelator), which is a good if not stunning recording, however in the Gurus hands it transcends the boundaries of time and space and places the singer right in the room.”

Here’s what some media says on the QM10:
“These speakers are exceptionally communicative, expressive and entertaining, to the point where the whole experience quickly becomes seriously addictive”
“Physically very discreet and musically very communicative, this unusual standmount delivers surprising bass and marvellous time coherence”
“Has speed and time coherence like a single full range driver system, yet also sounds much bigger than it looks”
Paul Messenger – Hi Fi Choice, November 2008
“The QM10 has wide bandwidth, great sensitivity to dynamics and low level
detail and remarkable imaging. [...] It’s a totally addictive design [...] The fact
that it looks good to these eyes at least is an added bonus in these interior
conscious days. ”
Jason Kennedy – Hi Fi+, March 2009
“I found the sound distinctly clear and articulate, with really competent, clean and quite deep bass, available at good power and remaining tuneful and articulate”
“…admirable clarity, resolution and fine detail. Focus is good, image width very good. The general quality is upbeat with good dynamics and rhythm, driven by the high clarity and definition”
“It’s highly articulate, revealing and detailed, with good dynamic range and class leading bass tune playing, power and extension…It is unusually sensitive for the bandwidth and size, and is relatively easy to drive. The Supernait sailed away with this speaker”
Martin Colloms – Hi-Fi Critic, September 2008
“Distinctive, characterful, animated sounding music makers with scale, speed
and joie de vivre”
David Price – Hi Fi World
“The QM10 has been Guru-fied into a card-carrying high-end speaker, and it is a remarkable achievement. If this initial offering from this new company is any measure, Guru Pro Audio might become as familiar a Swedish name as Volvo, Ikea, or (dare I say it?) ABBA. Anyone considering spending about $2700 on a pair of speakers of any size must hear the Guru QM10.”
