Home speakers come in
a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors. The job of an audio speaker
is to faithfully reproduce all the sound intended when the musician or
movie director originally recorded it.
In general, the more expensive
home speakers do a better job of this. (For the most part, the old
adage "You get what you pay for" applies to home
speakers.
The purpose of this website is to showcase some of the
best sounding, most popular brand names and models of home
audio speakers available on the market
today.
A popular option to
consider today
is a whole house audio system in which you can enjoy separate speakers
with independent volume controls in
every room of your home if you wish (and even outside!)
Whole house speakers are
most often done using in-wall speakers like
the unique
Bose 191 speakers shown above (which can also be used as in-ceiling speakers)
and outdoor speakers.

A pair of stereo speakers
like the Axiom M50
floor standing speakers shown above is
fine if you just plan on listening to music on a single audio
system. The best sounding speakers are usually floor
standing or
tower speakers because they are best able to reproduce the full spectrum
of sound from the highest frequency treble down to deep bass.
The new Polk
Monitor 70
tower speakers pictured above would be a great choice whether you want just a
pair of stereo speakers or you want to build a
full-blown Polk home theater speaker system. |
You can
also buy quality book
shelf speakers like the Infinity
Kappa 200 shown below if space is a priority and you don't
want to sacrifice sound quality.
Especially if you choose
book shelf speakers or are putting together a home
theater speaker system, you will need to add a powered
subwoofer to round out your low-end bass response.
For about $350,
the Infinity PS10 subwoofer
pictured above sports a 10" MMD woofer and 250 watt maximum
internal amplifier.
If need be, speaker
stands can be used to raise bookshelf speakers to ear level.
