Hi-fi speakers

Hi-fi speakers are chosen first for the room: a compact model on a stand suits an average living room, while floorstanders fill a large space better. Many speakers need some distance from the wall to keep the bass clean. Passive models require a suitable amplifier, whereas active ones have it built in. The number of drivers and published frequency charts say little about the sound.

The buying guide

Price brackets by tier

Orders of magnitude, not displayed prices: a price only appears on Kalyneo once it has been collected from a merchant, with its collection date.

Under €150

A compact bookshelf pair that needs a separate amp if passive, with limited bass extension at this level.

€150 to €400

Better built cabinets with a more even sound across the room, sometimes available as a ready to plug active version.

Over €400

Floor standing or tower speakers with deeper, steadier bass and better headroom, at the cost of a bulkier cabinet.

The buying guide for this category Buying guide: how to choose hi-fi speakers The advertised power rating never tells the whole story: the number of drivers, the woofer diameter and the number of tweeters all shape the final sound just as much. Comparing these criteria together helps match a speaker to its intended use rather than to a single headline figure. Read the guide
