Audio Equipment: Speakers

Room dimensions play a major role in choosing the right speakers. Larger rooms benefit from floorstanding or high-output audio equipment that can fill the space without strain. Compact rooms often perform best with bookshelf or in-wall models for balanced acoustics. Ceiling height, seating distance, and room furnishings also affect how sound behaves. Our team can review your room layout and recommend the most suitable speaker type and configuration.

While one subwoofer adds impact, using two (or more) provides smoother bass distribution throughout the room. This reduces “dead spots” and ensures consistent low-frequency performance for everyone seated. Multi-sub setups are common in high-end home cinemas and dramatically improve the realism of action scenes and musical passages.

Yes, most systems can grow over time. You might start with a 5.1 setup and later expand to 7.1 by adding height, side, or rear channels. As long as the core components are compatible, expanding your system is straightforward. We can help you plan an upgrade path that suits your space and long-term goals.

Speaker stands and isolation feet can significantly improve performance by reducing vibrations, optimising height, and positioning speakers correctly relative to ear level. Stands also prevent sound from becoming boomy or muddy due to reflections from furniture. For bookshelf speakers, using stands designed for the specific speaker size often yields the best results.
