What Type of Speaker is Best for Your Home Sound System?

When creating a home sound system, you may be wondering about the difference between all of the various speakers. There are several types to choose from and each offers their own unique take on sound, adding to the overall experience.

Subwoofers

Typically, when someone is in the market for a subwoofer, they are interested in feeling their sound. They want something that can literally rumble the room. This type of speaker can be connected to a power source or wireless.

Floorstanding speakers

This type of speaker can sometimes be called a “tower speaker”. They are usually tall and skinny in appearance and offer a full sound. When this type is designed, it has a lot of space internally, giving it that deep sound.

Bookshelf speakers

Similar to its floorstanding counterpart, there are a few key differences. The first is that this type is generally smaller. The other difference being that there is less space internally, so the sound is not usually as full.

Surround sound

​If you want to feel like you are in the movie you are watching, surround sound may be the key. This type of speaker will fully immerse you in what you are listening to. Hearing your audio from different directions will be a game changer. 

Sound bars

Sound bars are great for improving the sound clarity of dialogue. It’s frustrating when you watch a movie and certain scenes seem quieter than others. This product helps to eliminate that issue so that you hear everything at the same frequency.

Powered speakers

​Home sound systems can get costly with beautifully designed products and customizable options. Powered speakers are a nice choice when you are on a budget. This type usually includes an input for various music sources. Some even offer WiFi and Bluetooth support.

Outdoor speakers

​Maybe you want to watch a movie in your backyard or listen to music during a BBQ. Outdoor speakers give you the best experience with high-resolution audio. There are some that can blend in with a rocky appearance while others simply mount to the outer wall of your home.
