Considerations in Buying Stereo Speakers
Speaker manufacturers make their products for two distinct types of listeners – those who want accurate reproduction and those who want coloured audio output. Whatever your personal preference, the following paragraphs can help you find the sound booster that you are looking for.
If you want clean, tight, and accurate bass, go for acoustic suspension or sealed box speakers. On the other hand, if you prefer lots of bass, pick the bass reflex or ported variety. Then again, flat panel sound boosters are the perfect choice for wide or big locations.
Shop in consumer electronics stores to get more savings and go to specialty audio shops if you want to splurge on high-fidelity equipment.
Finally, take a few familiar CDs to the places you will be going to. Choose tracks that will challenge the bass and treble, imaging and sound staging, and dynamic range capabilities of the unit you intend to buy.
