The Loudspeaker is the personality part of any HiFi system. They are available in many different sizes, from small mountable satellite speakers, to bookshelf speakers, to large floor standing speakers. They also utilise a variety of different technologies including traditional cone drivers to more esoteric sound production mechanisms such as horns, electrostatic and ribbon transducers.
Because the Loudspeakers perform the final step in the reproduction process, they play a very special role. Loudspeaker response can be adjusted and tailored to a specific room and for a specific listener by adjusting the position and direction of the loudspeaker in relation to both the room dimensions and position of the listener.
Loudspeakers also differ greatly between manufacturers and models. All loudspeakers impart a certain amount of colour and character on the sound. While some listeners prefer loudspeakers with a bright and edgy sound, others prefer a warmer or more balanced response. Whatever your taste, we have the loudspeakers for you.
Floor Standing Speakers are most commonly used in 2 channel stereo systems, and can also be integrated into a 5.1 theatre system as the Front Speakers. The larger cabinets provide deeper bass extension for full range performance without the need for a subwoofer. Theatre lovers who are also looking for an excellent stereo system should consider KEF speakers. They are articulate and detailed in the midrange, with a tight bass and amazing sound staging, giving the impression of a very wide and dynamic soundstage. If you prefer a more balanced and musical sound, we recommend the Quad L² series, which continues to win awards for excellent value and sound quality. |
