Reviews on Floor Standing Speakers

"Kudos follows speaker success"

What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision
Issue: 7/2008
On test: Kudos Cardea C2
With a history in speaker stands, you have to assume that Kudos knows a thing or two about getting the best performance from a set of speakers and since branching out into designing speakers themselves are looking to prove they can make great-sounding speakers in their own right.    More

"PMC has compact ability"

What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision
Issue: 4/2008
On test: PMC GB1i
Compact floorstanders are a great idea. Who wouldn't want small, unobtrusive speakers that still sound good? The reality, sadly, often disappoints: a slim cabinet means small drivers, with a resultant weedy sound. The GB1iS are one of the few exceptions, though.    More

"Monitor Audio Platinum PL300"

What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision
Issue: 3/2008
On test: Monitor Audio Platinum PL300
Monitor Audio makes some of the best budget to mid-priced speakers around. Yet nothing it's done in the past three decades or so prepares you for just how good these floorstanders are.    More

"Wee Dalis we like"

What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision
Issue: 9/2007
On test: Dali Mentor 5
Judge these Dalis on their physical presence alone, and you might be disappointed. These are small speakers, at just 88cm tall, and about as unobtrusive as floor-standers come.    More
 

Floor Standing Speakers

True audiophiles are willing to sacrifice a minimalist lifestyle for sound quality. This leads them to purchase generally large speaker sets up to a meter high and 50 cm wide. A column speaker integrates all different speakers into one unit, this means there is no need for a separate sub woofer and as all frequency ranges are coming from the same location, there is no loss of phase.

In a larger room column speakers are the only way to reach high, space filling volumes. A standard speaker set will be too attenuated by the air to be audible in every corner of the room. Such speakers are therefore commonly used in churches and halls. When used in smaller rooms and homes with an appropriate amplifier these can thus generate truly immersive sound with very high fidelity and volumes.

Column speakers are usually best mounted on so-called 'spikes' these make the speaker more stable and also impede too much loss though the floor and through movement. Large column speakers can go together to make the perfect home cinema system, however they are more power hungry than a smaller set and take up much more space. A pair of good stereo speakers can also cost more than a whole home cinema in-a-box system containing 6 speakers and a DVD player.
