Tips on hifi floorstanding speakers

Finding good hifi floor speakers that suit us is not always easy. For this reason, our specialists in hi-fi and home theater recommend following a series of tips to help us reach the top of the best sound.

- Placement : it is usual that when we think about acquiring them, the first thing we ask ourselves is how to place the floor speakers without dying in the attempt. Well, the first and best option to guarantee faithful sound reproduction is to move the columns away from the walls, and place them depending on the measurements of the room, at a recommended distance between 1.5m and 3.5m for the listening point, keeping the tweeter at the level of our ears.

- Use decoupling spikes : unlike monitor speakers, there are no stands for floor-standing speakers, but as long as our column speakers include them, it is interesting to use decoupling spikes to avoid excessive vibration during playback, and to concentrate all the sound mass at the same point. Thus, in addition to placing them on the ground, we can orient our speakers effectively towards the ear to achieve the best sound.

- Sound profile or test whenever you can : choosing floor-standing speakers based on their sound profile is as lawful as it is recommended, although for this, it is interesting that you can do your own tests. One of the most important features of this type of speaker is its ability to expand the sound stage and obtain more enveloping sound, thanks to its dedicated components and its 2-way structures or more, together with the transmission of richer bass. and deeper than monitor speakers.

- Choice of integrated amplifier: to get the most out of our floorstanding speakers in the hifi system, we have to choose an integrated amplifier that, in combination with them, gives us all the power necessary to listen to our favorite songs. To do this, we can pay attention to technical specifications such as the sensitivity of the boxes and the impedance levels, since both the lack of power from the amplifier and the delivery of extreme power can be detrimental to our speakers. With this and according to the experience of our specialists, it is best to assess the data of the amplifier-speaker and allocate a reasonable budget for the entire equipment, for example: 70% for the speakers and 30% for the amplifier, always according to the needs of each case.

- Floor speakers for home theater : if we talk about cinema, floor speakers are designed to lead the so-called front trio , which marks part of the performance of the system and its quality in terms of response, scene and sound envelope. The most important thing to choose floor-standing speakers for home theater is to take into account the measurements of the room and the space to place the columns. It is also recommended to choose speakers with a structure of drivers dedicated to each frequency, since this way we can obtain a good response throughout the range , so that other elements such as the center channel, the subwoofer or the surround speakers, fulfill their respective functions. .
