Speakers & Monitors

A speaker is the last link between a recorded signal and the air in your room — and the one most people spend too little on relative to everything else. This category covers passive bookshelf speakers for home listening rooms, compact desktop monitors for near-field use, and floor stands and isolation platforms that let speakers perform the way they were designed to. Whether you are building a first proper listening setup around a turntable or upgrading a system that has outgrown its current speakers, the right choice here is the one that makes you want to sit down and listen for another hour.
