On Wall Speakers Vs Floor Standing

If you prefer a floor standing speaker you will want your budget to allow the cost difference.

On wall speakers vs floor standing.

When building a high performance home theater system is it better to use in wall components or on wall boxes and why. Or maybe you re going for a college chic aesthetic with everything from your mattress to your tv on the floor. With all that being said it really boils down to personal preference. While you can put a bookshelf speaker on a shelf they will sound better on a speaker stand out in the room very similar to what we described for floor standing speakers.

Freestanding speakers interact with the floor ceiling the wall next to them and the wall behind them. There is always the option to combine and do both in wall and floor standing speakers. Whatever the reason plenty of people place their audio speakers on the floor. This viewer is anxious to build his own home theater and do it right.

But for bookshelves the height recommendation is the same as for the center. Maybe you hate the way audio speaker stands look. I ve owned a custom a v company that does custom theaters all over the us for the past 12 years. Naturally if you have tower speakers you can just skip this section as they are designed to just sit on the floor.

Here s why you might want to reconsider. Maybe you re scared your pets child will knock them down and damage your precious speakers. They will lack the deep bass of a tower but some models when coupled with a subwoofer are able to put out a very large and convincing soundstage for music. Floor standing speakers typically cost more than an in wall speaker.
