Product Information

Here at What Hi-Fi?we review hundreds of products every year, including no small amount of speakers of all shapes, sizes and types. So how do we come to our review verdicts? And why can you trust them? Choosing the best speakers for you is no simple task. You'll need to avoid some of the common pitfalls and study some of the jargon in our guide below. But before you hit the 'buy' button on those top-of-the-line monoliths, stop for a moment to consider a few things. Getting the basics right first will make for (pun intended) a sound purchasing decision later. Much of this will come down to what kind of listener you are and where. Here are some basic categories to help narrow things down: Home cinema and TV viewers KEF's new MAT ( Meta Material Absorption Technology) innovation has been elevating the performance of its most recent speakers (the Award-winning LS50 Meta above is a prime example), so it was only a matter of time before the tech was integrated into its 2023 R Series of speakers. Sure enough, the new R3 Meta standmounter features both MAT and KEF's Uni-Q driver array to great success. Thanks to a multitude of technical innovations, size is no longer synonymous with quality or power. There are options for everyone, from large floor-standing speakers and bookshelf speakers for music lovers to multiroom systems and wireless speakers for those who like their smart streaming tech. There are even speakers for parties outdoors and some portable options for listening on the move. Best speakers of 2023 at a glance As with anything electrical, it's important to not get your wires crossed. Therefore, most speaker wires will come with one side marked with a line to help you match up the terminals on your amp with those on the speakers. So, one will be positive, the other negative. This is the phase of the speaker. If you have a positive wire in the negative terminal and vice versa, some elements of the sound will effectively be working against each other. The result is poor stereo imaging and reduced bass, so match up your positives and negatives, and you'll be in phase. Frequency Range

Wake up to the crystal-clear radio sound of a JBL DAB radio. Take your favourite stations to the park, A decibel is a measure of sound levels (dBs). While it's an accepted measure of volume, it doesn't correlate with wattage. More wattage doesn't necessarily mean bigger or better volume, or quality, for that matter. Usually, manufacturers specify the amount of dBs that a speaker can produce with a single Watt of power at a 1-metre distance. Drivers Most speakers, apart from 'Active' speakers (more on those later), will need a powered amplifier to drive them. If you already have an amplifier, the first thing you should consider is whether you need to upgrade. After all, there's no point in hooking up expensive KEFs to an amp that's well past its use-by date.Storage & organisation Furniture Christmas Shop Textiles Kitchenware & tableware Kitchens Lighting Decoration Beds & mattresses Rugs, mats & flooring Baby & children Smart home Bathroom products Laundry & cleaning Plants & plant pots Home electronics Working from home Home improvement Outdoor living Food & beverages Shop by room Just think, you could take your enjoyment of your favourite music to a whole new level with one simple decision - to buy the best speakers.

But that's just the beginning of upping your audio game. A speaker has two components: a woofer and a tweeter. A tweeter is responsible for producing high-frequency sounds. They're often a dome shape and may even be independently positionable. Woofers Unless you're going for a wireless music player for portability (actively amplified with its own power), a dedicated amplifier is needed to power passive speakers. But this is in no way an afterthought. Your final sound quality is going to depend equally on the quality of the speakers and the quality of the amplifier - get both right, and you'll have a dream system. Get either of them wrong, and you'll have wasted your money. Why are my speakers distorted at high volumes? any party.

A passive speaker has no active power or amplifier circuitry. So, you will need to route your sound to them via an external amplifier. Some speakers, like the Edifier R1280T, are active speakers. They don't require an external amplifier. Active speakers A woofer is the part of the speaker that produces low-frequency sounds. You'll commonly see these described by the width of the cone - in inches or centimetres. This will also give you a slight indication of how much range and power they may have. Phase
