Anywhere but the floor!
If you’re looking for rich acoustics to fill the room without eating into floor space, these may be just the speakers for you. Bookshelf speakers’ single biggest USP and advantage is that they’re super easy to place. No matter what the room, what size or contours, these speakers sit neatly atop any elevated space within it. Aesthetically neat, and designed to blend in, Klipsch bookshelf speakers also stand out in terms of output.
Klipsch marries it’s 70+ years of acoustic technology experience with convenience and aesthetics to give you the most superior bookshelf speakers in the market. Whether you’re looking for performance or design, whether your focus is output or aesthetics, these bookshelf speakers will give you a bang for the buck without compromising one for the other. Bookshelf speakers are very versatile – they can be used in a pure stereo setup, as surround speakers in a home theatre, or even as the left and right speakers in a small to medium size home theatre.
Many audiophiles actually prefer the sound of bookshelf speakers for stereo – designed to work in a tighter frequency range than floor standing speakers, bookshelf speakers often deliver better vocals and treble than a similarly priced floor standing speaker would. The bass produced by bookshelf speakers also tends to be tighter. What one does miss out with a bookshelf speaker is lower bass – and that can easily be added by choosing an amplifier that has a subwoofer output, and adding a subwoofer for a full range 2.1 experience.
What’s more, there’s a bookshelf speaker for every specific need. Whether you’re a movie buff and your speakers are going to mainly be a home theatre accessory, or you’re a serious music aficionado, Cinebels will help you choose the right speaker for your requirement to take your listening experience up a notch.
Bookshelf speakers vs. Powered monitors
One of the common queries when it comes to bookshelf speakers is how they stack up against powered monitors, because they often look the same. The fundamental difference is in amplification. Powered monitors come with built in amplification, and inputs whereas bookshelf speakers require a separate amplifier and input sources. Both come with their advantages.
Powered monitors that have built-in amplification means there are few additional components required – very often everything you need is right out of the box. Klispch powered monitors such as The Fives are bi-amplified, with every component chosen and tuned by Klipsch engineers, which means that the electronics are perfectly matched to the speaker, delivering unmatched sound quality. You also don’t need to worry about inputs as speakers like The Fives have every conceivable input you can think of, from USB, to BlueTooth – and they even come with a subwoofer out.
Some people however prefer having separate components, as they enjoy the process of matching different products, and systematically upgrading the stereo value chain. This could start with a simple amplifier and a pair of Klipsch bookshelves such as the RP-600M, adding a DAC later, and then perhaps a turn-table with a separate phono-preamp. And of course unlike with powered monitors, a simple 2.0 setup can easily be upgraded to a full home theatre in the future.
As we always say, sound is very personal, and we can help guide you to choosing the perfect system that suits your need and taste.
