Living in a small space or not a fan of big speakers? Discover the best bookshelf speakers that deliver fantastic sound quality.
The best bookshelf speakers solve a question every music lover has had to face: How do I get great sound without taking up a lot of space? In the speaker world, bigger typically means better because the space is used for larger drivers . Bigger speakers, typically called floor-standing speakers, also have the luxury of having multiple drivers — one dedicated for bass, midrange, and treble frequencies.
So we've tried to be as objective as possible when evaluating speakers. We’ve subjected them to various tests, which you can read about here. By playing music from different genres, in different formats, at different volume levels, we've gotten a pretty good handle on the type of sound we're looking for, which is generally regarded as "flat," meaning bass, midrange, and treble frequencies aren't artificially inflated.
If you're okay with setting up a pair of passive speakers that require external amplification — we have an A/V receiver recommendation if that's the case — run, don't walk to get a pair of Q-Acoustic 3030i bookshelf speakers. They're that good.Budget audio gear is typically rife with compromises, but Edifier proves you don't need to spend a lot to get a lot with its R1280DBs bookshelf speakers.
Indeed, the speakers revealed a surprising amount of clarity from the music we played. Background instruments sounded sharp, and we never encountered any harsh treble or overpowering bass during our tests. We did find the Ai61s a little bass heavy, but that's part of what you get when listening to music using a speaker with that big a woofer at close range. The sound mellowed out when we hooked up a turntable to the speakers, and we took a few steps back.
Fluance's Ai61 bookshelf speakers may look a little imposing when you first take them out of the box, but don't let that put you off. In a short period of time, you'll only be focusing on how they sound.Razer's Nommo Chroma speakers were designed to fit seamlessly in a modern PC gaming setup thanks to the multi-color LEDs built into their base.
