Beginner’s Guide to Buying Home audiophile loudspeakers

by | Jul 2, 2013 | Shopping and Fashion

Loudspeakers come in such a wide variation of sizes, shapes and frequencies that it can be difficult to find a high quality speaker system for your home. There are many misconceptions when it comes to audiophile loudspeakers. For example, bigger speakers do not necessarily produce a louder sound than smaller speakers, nor have a better-quality bass. In the same regards, a 12-inch subwoofer will not necessarily produce better bass than a 10-inch woofer. There are many technical specifications that help determine the best hi fi loudspeakers. Consider these basic components that may help you find a loudspeaker that fits your needs.

Frequency

The range of a speaker is a measurement of how wide a selection of sounds it can reproduce. Are the audiophile loudspeakers able to reproduce the highest highs and the lowest bass? It’s important to note that a high quality, deep bass may come with a bigger price tag, but the results are typically worth every penny. The loudspeaker’s overall tonal neutrality is determined by the frequency balance. It’s important to find a speaker that does not make the music sound muddy or too harsh with clear distinctions between higher and low ranges.

Volume

Volume is also a critical factor that should be considered when purchasing loudspeakers. While you may need to keep the volume at a lower level if you live in an apartment or dorm room, you’ll still want to ensure that the volume sounds good at both high and low settings. In some speakers, too high of a setting causes the music to sound grainy or compressed. A well designed loudspeaker will sound great no matter the volume level. It’s important to note that where in the room you setup your speakers will have a profound effect on the sound you receive. Where you sit also plays a role, as sound can best be heard when directly between the main speakers.
