While we may not be fond of loud music, we may have to bear with our children who seem not to hear you when you ask them to lower the volume. We may also have been followers of rock groups like Bon Jovi or Guns ‘n Roses during our time, but their brand of music is well more subdued than the ultra-metallic playlists that most youngsters listen to nowadays.
With the best floor standing speakers, the squeaky quality of sounds is eliminated. At least, even if your young children turn the music on as loud as it can be, the sounds will not ‘hurt’ the ears. You may come to realize that you, too, can listen to the genre of music your children like. It may seem like you are in a cinema because of the theatrical quality that only the top brands of speakers can produce.
Here are the most important things to pay attention to when looking for floor standing speakers.
Power Rating
Power ratings of speakers can come as continuous or peak. The peak power rating means the maximum power that a speaker can handle in an instant. In contrast, the continuous or RMS power rating implies the continuous power that a speaker can bear. The peak power rating is not important in speaker technology, so it is best to check the continuous power rating. It is specified in watts, and it simply defines the amount of power a speaker can handle. The more watts a speaker has, the more powerful the sound it can produce.
Frequency Range
Measured in Hertz, frequency defines how low and how high sounds can get. The human ear may not be able to hear the lowest bass or the highest trebles. But when looking for a speaker, a model having low and high-frequency range is better as it may produce more quality sounds.
Sensitivity
Don’t commit the common mistake of people when buying speakers by not checking on the sensitivity. It is measured in decibels, and it determines how loud the sound that it can produce. It is said that the ideal sensitivity rating for a speaker is 90 decibels.
Driver Size
The most reliable floor standing speakers have a complete set of drivers that consist of tweeners, midrange drivers, woofers, and even sub-woofers. These drivers emit low to high-frequency sounds. An interplay of these produces a more detailed and vibrant sound.
While all of the above are factors that determine sound quality, one important aspect to consider is the design. For sure, everybody loves beautiful floor standing speakers.
