Top High-End Audio Speakers.

Top High-End Audio Speakers.

In terms of Home Theater

Hi-Fi class audio systems are devices that reproduce high-quality sound. They will give new impressions of listening to music or watching your favorite movie on a computer, TV or in a car (however, not all acoustics are suitable for a car). Below is a selection of the best home audio systems in 2022.

1. Device location. First of all, they determine the place where the acoustics will be installed. Today the market is dominated by 2 types: floor and shelf (or wall). Floor-standing acoustics, as a rule, have a massive body and large radiators that produce powerful sound with fat bass. Bookshelf speakers are compact and do not take up much space in the room. They are inferior to floor models in terms of power, but they reproduce detailed sound.

2. acoustic type. Speakers are active and passive. Inside the first there is an amplifier, so they are ready for use immediately after switching on. This results in savings. But due to the fact that the developer puts both speakers and electronics in one case, the sound quality often suffers. For passive acoustics, you need to additionally buy an external amplifier. Although it is expensive, but in this way the user gets more opportunities for pumping the audio system.

3. Number of lanes. In theory, the more "highly specialized" speakers, the better. However, crossovers distribute the signal between them, and in many ways their quality and tuning accuracy affect the purity of the reproduced audio. Therefore, two-way or three-way acoustics is optimal.

4. Smooth frequency response. The smoother the frequency response, the clearer the music sounds across the entire frequency range. It is unlikely that anyone wants to buy a speaker, in which the upper frequencies are overwhelmed, and the bottoms are pulled up. Frequency response is indicated by manufacturers or in publications conducting such tests.

5. column power. The power of acoustics should not be lower than the power of the amplifier. Otherwise, when you try to raise the volume to the maximum, the speakers will begin to wheeze. In addition, when choosing power, the installation location of the column is also taken into account. For example, if you need to pump the hall with music at a concert or organize a disco, you need a powerful model. Conversely, it makes no sense to buy 400-watt acoustics for a small apartment.
