How to choose your speakers in 2025

This guide will help you choose the next pair of speakers in 2025. It is long enough, divided into chapters, classified by subject, and recommended to be read in order. Should we know all this so we can choose?

 Even an incomplete knowledge of the various points discussed is the surest way to avoid being mistaken.

• Home theatre: from 5 to 11 speakers and one or two subwoofers. The front speakers (front right, front left, and centre speakers) receive most of the message and power. Surround speakers (high front, side, or rear) can be conventional (compact or sometimes column) or bipolar. Occasionally, we can do without the subwoofer in small rooms if column-type speakers develop enough bass. Sometimes, we can do without the subwoofer in small spaces if we have column-type speakers that produce enough bass. Sometimes, we can do without the subwoofer in small rooms if we have column-type speakers that develop enough bass.
• Hi-fi multichannel requires a minimum of 5 identical karaoke speakers or very close models and rigorous placement.
• Atmosphere: Used in mono or almost, small enclosures or recessed models can diffuse the atmosphere.
• Determine the required power based on the room's size, the desired listening level, and the sound insulation in the neighbourhood.
• Define your budget: Depending on the complexity of the configuration (number of sources, scalability, etc.), the speakers must be devoted to 30% to 50% of the total budget of the Hi-Fi or Home-cinema installation.

What is a good speaker?

This is a very complex yet important question. Many buyer guides are available online, which will help us before buying any bookshelf speakers. Saim Deals is one website that writes regular buyers' guides related to tech products. Rest assured, we will not settle here in a peremptory and definitive way. However, this question deserves to be asked, and it deserves, of course, that we try to provide some answers. The loudspeaker is an electro-mechanical device that converts a complex electric power signal into an acoustic vibration. To better illustrate our explanations, we will regularly make analogies with another device: the automobile. This chemical converter (gasoline) in motion has much in common with the speakers.

There are many good cars at all costs, yet the choice that suits you is ultimately relatively small. The room in which the speaker is placed plays an essential role in his behaviour. A good approximation of the ideal speaker is the Hi-Fi audio headset. The effect of the room is controlled by enclosing all or part of it. Power is sufficient by placing the speaker close enough to produce a 105 db level with minimal distortion. The speaker (s) offer an exceptional bandwidth calibrated for the human ear and its physical performance to understand the vibrations and transmit them to the brain. The helmet is ideal in terms of features.
