Bookshelf
speakers are significantly more compact (and portable)
compared to floor standing speakers,
but offer much of the same audio performance of larger speakers
at a lower price. Often times, a bookshelf speaker
features the exact same tweeter as a floor speaker of the same
brand, and the woofer driver on the bookshelf speaker may be
identical to the midrange driver on a matched floor speaker. Bookshelf
speakers could be your front left and right speakers and would
also make perfectly voice matched rear surround speakers.
Bookshelf speakers don't produce as deep of bass response as
floor speakers, so you'll want to set the crossover frequency
higher on your subwoofer. Many people choose to place bookshelf speakers on shelves to the
left and right of their television inside an entertainment
center or TV
stand. Depending
on exactly where you decide to locate your bookshelf speakers,
you may need to buy speaker stands or speaker
wall mounting brackets. |
