12 Best Floorstanding Speakers

*Overview of the best according to the editors of Healthy Food Near Me. About selection criteria. This material is subjective, is not an advertisement and does not serve as a guide to the purchase. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Audio systems come in a wide variety of formats, from a simple stereo pair of computer speakers to complex branching sets for home theaters. In any case, massive acoustic systems are of the greatest consumer interest, since they are the ones that are able to most fully and vividly reproduce the entire sound spectrum – from the highest frequencies to the lowest. Such systems involve floor installation, and if we are talking about a 5.1 or 7.1 sound set, then at least the front speakers will be floor-standing here.

The editors of Simplerule magazine bring you an extended look at the best floorstanding speakers available on the market in the first half of 2020. Our experts selected models based on a combination of independent test results, opinions of well-known experts and feedback from the users themselves. In addition, the affordability factor was also taken into account, so ultra-expensive Hi-End solutions were deliberately not included in the review.

The best budget floorstanding speakers under 15000 rubles

Let’s start traditionally with the most affordable segment in terms of cost – floor-standing speaker systems are no more than 15 thousand rubles. At the same time, you need to understand that an affordable price in this case is by no means a synonym for something bad, and the brands presented make this clear enough.

YAMAHA NS-125F

Rating: 4.7

12 Best Floorstanding Speakers

Let’s first consider the speaker system of the Japanese brand YAMAHA, which does not need any special introduction. This is one of the rare samples when the quality greatly exceeds the retail price of the product. In our review, this is the most inexpensive system, and on the market in this class it is one of the best solutions. When buying a system, you should remember that almost all popular online trading platforms indicate the price for one column, and not for a pair.

The NS-125F is a two-way passive Hi-Fi speaker system. It is positioned as a front and in fact it is, but a significant proportion of users successfully use it for a rear sound device. One column has dimensions 1050x236x236mm and weight 7.2kg. The body is made of MDF, the finish can be different, including piano lacquer, and this option is the most spectacular in appearance, judging by user reviews.

This system uses a phase inverter type of acoustic design. Hereinafter, a phase inverter in acoustics should be understood as a hole-capacity in the form of a pipe in the speaker case, which expands the range of reproducible low-frequency sound vibrations (bass). This is done due to the resonance effect of the bass reflex tube at a frequency below that which is reproduced directly by the speaker (loudspeaker).

Rated total power of the system is 40W, peak power is 120W. Here and below, for passive systems, these values ​​refer to the input power of the amplifier for optimal sound quality and expressiveness.

Each speaker contains three drivers – two 3.1″ (80mm) diameter cone woofers and one 0.9″ (22mm) dome tweeter. The system is capable of reproducing sound with a frequency of 60 to 35 thousand Hz. Impedance – 6 ohms. Sensitivity – 86 dB / W / m. The crossover frequency is 6 kHz.

As mentioned above, YAMAHA NS-125F is an impressive combination of affordable price and high quality. Feedback from users is strictly positive, and often even enthusiastic. Simplerule specialists can only fully confirm the user rating. This system really gives high-quality sound, with good lows even in the absence of a subwoofer with speakers of relatively small diameter, clearly not designed for rich bass. Here, the phase inverter works to the fullest. Externally, the speakers look stylish and presentable, especially those with piano lacquer finish.

YAMAHA NS-F160

Rating: 4.6

12 Best Floorstanding Speakers

In order not to go far, let’s immediately consider another floor-standing YAMAHA speaker system. The NS-F160 model is twice as expensive as the one described above, but still remains in the budget segment. The characteristics that we will analyze, as in the case of the previous model, relate to one column.

So, the height of one floor stand – 1042mm – is almost the same as the previous one, width – 218mm, depth – 369. The weight is very significant – 19kg. The body is made of MDF with an external finish with a film with a “wood effect” pattern. The texture of the surface is very close to natural veneer.

NS-F160 is a passive two-way Hi-Fi class speaker system, monopolar with bass-reflex acoustic design. The nominal (recommended) power of the input amplification is 50W, the peak power is 300W. Reproduces sound vibrations in the frequency range from 30 to 36 thousand Hz. Resistance – 6 ohms. Sensitivity – 87dB.

The basic design of the speaker here is almost identical to the previous model, only the NS-F160 uses larger speakers: a pair of dynamic drivers 160mm in diameter, plus a 30mm high-frequency dome tweeter. There is a magnetic protection.

The developers have provided options for connecting the speaker both according to the biwiring scheme and bi-amping (Bi-amplifier connection), but there are no special cables in the package, only for a standard connection.

If we analyze the formal characteristics and compare them with the real readings of the system in operation, then neither ordinary users nor professionals have any fundamental complaints about the NS-F160. Questions arise in a narrower spectrum. So, for example, many are unanimous in the opinion that a subwoofer will still be required for a full-fledged bottoms of the speaker system. Simplerule experts generally support this position, but at the same time there are a huge number of users who are completely satisfied with the sound that the speakers give out in their pure form.

Attitude Uni One

Rating: 4.5

12 Best Floorstanding Speakers

The third number in the selection of the best budget floorstanders according to Simplerule is already a set of two Attitude Uni One speakers. In terms of cost per column, the price is even lower than the YAMAHA NS-125F, but the model goes on sale in the form of a kit that costs an average of 12 thousand rubles as of the end of March 2020.

We immediately emphasize the key difference, it is also an advantage, of this model. The Attitude Uni One is an active system, which means it has a built-in amplifier. Therefore, parameters such as impedance in the description of the characteristics are only for reference, since the amplifier, by definition, is selected by the manufacturer itself, which is optimal for such a speaker form factor and speaker parameters.

Dimensions of one column Attitude Uni One – 190x310x800mm, weight – 11.35kg. The column also contains three speakers, like the previous two options, but the distribution of reproducible frequencies here is carried out according to a different principle, more on that below. Sound source connection screw.

This is already a three-way system, not a two-way one. And the configuration of the speakers in one column is as follows: a low-frequency radiator 127mm in diameter with a polymer membrane; exactly the same radiator for medium frequencies; silk tweeter 25mm in diameter. The system is capable of reproducing sound in the frequency range from 40 to 20 thousand Hz. Rated power – 50W. The signal-to-noise ratio is 90dB.

What sets the Attitude Uni One apart from many other floorstanders is its vastly expanded functionality. So, here we see the possibility of simply connecting an iPod through a regular docking station; USB hub; card reader for flash memory MMC, SD, SDHC. Such a set of additional functions, however, causes polar assessments of experts and advanced users. Some argue that such “stuffing” cannot but harm the main task of the speaker system – sound quality. Others, on the contrary, argue that additional functions do not directly affect the sound in any way, but are quite useful in themselves.

The obvious drawback of the Attitude Uni One is the bundled wires. The manufacturer clearly saved on this even in terms of thinking through physical applicability. The length, cross-section, quality/durability do not stand up to even moderate criticism, so it would most likely be wise to replace the wires immediately.

The best mid-range floorstanding speakers

In the second selection of our review, we will consider four floorstanding speakers without a strict price limit. Here will be presented the conditional “middle class” floor-standing speakers with the best reviews from experts and ordinary users.

Yamaha NS-555

Rating: 4.9

12 Best Floorstanding Speakers

Let’s start traditionally with the most inexpensive option, and again it will be the legendary Japanese brand YAMAHA with the even more popular acoustic floor system NS-555. In terms of price, it almost falls into the conditional budget category, but in terms of characteristics it still significantly outperforms the simplest models.

The dimensions of one column are 222mm wide, 980mm high and 345mm deep; weight – 20kg. The design and appearance as a whole are unusually effective thanks to a concise, but solid and “expensive” shape and multi-layered piano lacquer coating. With the grills on and off, the look is radically different, but spectacular in both cases. The quality of materials and assembly is impeccable, which for YAMAHA products is more a rule than something outstanding.

The NS-555 is a 165-way passive Hi-Fi speaker system with bass-reflex acoustic design and monopolar radiation. Each column (loudspeaker) contains four dynamic type radiators – two low-frequency ones 127mm in diameter each, one mid-frequency cone 25mm and one high-frequency tweeter XNUMXmm. Screw terminals for connecting an amplifier. It is possible to connect according to the bi-wiring scheme. Speakers are equipped with magnetic protection.

The system is capable of reproducing sound covering the frequency range from 35 to 35 thousand Hz. Impedance – 6 ohms. Sensitivity – 88dB. The rated input amplification power is 100W.

The overall impression is that this model receives a lot of sincere praise for its clean, balanced, monitor-like sound. Here you can observe a slight and rare dissatisfaction with the depth of the bottoms and the distinctness of the highs, but it should be understood that the system is really closer to studio monitors and broadcasts an honest sound without embellishment. To add expressiveness to one or another frequency spectrum – this remains at the choice of the user at the level of the player, amplifier, equalizer, etc.

YAMAHA NS-555 in terms of evaluation by professionals and ordinary users is similar to the two budget systems of the same brand described above – the feedback is strictly positive to the point of enthusiastic. The Japanese definitely pleased me with a thorough study of the system and impeccable technical performance. Claims to this model are only frankly “audiophile”, where there is more subjectivity, and not factual.

HECO Victa Prime 702

Rating: 4.8

12 Best Floorstanding Speakers

Next, consider another interesting HECO speaker system. The Victa Prime 702 is much more expensive than the one described above, but at the same time it is more powerful, more sensitive and generally has a wider range of possibilities in reproducing high-quality and balanced sound. The only thing is that in the exterior, the Victa Prime 702 falls far short of the appearance of the chic YAMAHA NS-555.

The dimensions of one column are 203mm wide, 1052mm high, 315mm deep. The body is made of MDF in several glued layers. This design provides strength and also effectively prevents unwanted resonance and standing waves. The podium adds inertia to each column. The exterior finish with a high-quality film with a wood texture is almost identical to natural veneer.

YAMAHA NS-555 is a passive 4-way Hi-Fi system with bass-reflex acoustic design and monopolar radiation. Each speaker contains 2 speakers – 170 woofers with a diameter of 25mm each, one midrange of the same size and a XNUMXmm tweeter. Dome tweeter made of high-quality artificial silk, on a powerful ferrite magnet with a cooling magnetic fluid. The cones in the midrange and bass drivers are made of long-fibre paper with a wide suspension that provides a large stroke.

The rated input amplification power for this system is 170W, which is significantly more than the previous model. Peak is even much larger – 300W. The crossover frequency is 350Hz. Sensitivity – 91dB. The minimum impedance is 4 ohms, the maximum is 8 ohms. The range of reproducible frequencies is from 25 to 40 thousand Hz. It is possible to connect according to bi-wiring and bi-amping schemes.

This system is characterized by an exceptionally flat, almost perfect frequency response with minor nuances in the form of increased sensitivity in the middle bass. But these nuances are systemic in nature, so Simplerule experts listed them as shortcomings, as well as a slightly blurry localization.

On the other hand, the system as a whole shows an accurate, detailed, almost monitor-like transmission of sound material. Microdynamics is extremely accurate, excellent transmission of “non-obvious” nuances like reverb, overtones, etc.

The manufacturer’s assortment includes a much cheaper 2.5-way HECO Victa Prime 502 system. It is in many ways similar to the 702 model, but with less expressive characteristics. It also fully corresponds to the price.

DALI Sensor 5

Rating: 4.7

12 Best Floorstanding Speakers

Floor-standing speaker system of a conditional middle class model Zensor 5 manufactured by a Danish company under the trademark DALI (Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries). According to the dry numbers of technical characteristics, this model may seem weaker than a number of previous ones, but this is not a drawback, but only a feature of this particular configuration, and the class of the device is higher here. And let’s emphasize right away to avoid confusion – here we are considering the passive Zensor 5. The active system is designated by the AX index and is much more expensive.

So, Zensor 5 is a two-way Hi-Fi speaker system with bass-reflex acoustic design and monopolar radiation. The range of reproducible frequencies is from 43 to 26500 Hz. The minimum recommended input amplification power is 30W, the peak power is 150W. Sensitivity – 88dB. The crossover frequency is 2.4kHz. Impedance – 6 ohms. Maximum sound pressure – 108 dB.

The dimensions of one speaker are 162mm wide, 825mm high, 253mm deep, weight 10.3kg. Each speaker contains three drivers – two 133mm diameter woofers and a 25mm diameter dome tweeter. The front part of the speakers is covered with black piano lacquer, MDF cabinet with vinyl finish in three styles – Black Ash (black ash / ash), Light Walnut (light walnut) and solid white. The phase inverter port is placed on the front part as a whole with a surface without joints.

On the technical side, experts and ordinary users have no complaints about Zensor 5. Here the Danish company confidently keeps a high level and the utmost attention to detail. As for the sound, the ratings are mostly also extremely positive. Simplerule specialists are unanimous with colleagues in the high assessment of spatial sound, there is a clear localization of sound sources, depth of the stage, extremely high resolution at mid frequencies and impeccable dynamics.

Everything described in terms of sound quality is noted in a completely “fresh” system, from the first minutes of listening. After warming up, Zensor 5 will reveal even more of its potential. At the same time, warming up here is recommended by the manufacturer itself and at least 50 hours.

HECO Music Style 900

Rating: 4.

12 Best Floorstanding Speakers

The second part of the review of the best floorstanding speakers according to Simplerule magazine is completed by the most powerful and generally interesting set of two HECO Music Style 900 speakers. On some trading floors, the speakers can be sold separately, so it is advisable to specify the package on purpose, not relying only on the description in the catalog .

HECO Music Style 900 is a two-channel, three-way passive system with bass-reflex acoustic design and monopolar radiation. The dimensions of one column are 113×22.5×35cm, the weight of the set is 50kg. Each speaker includes 4 speakers: two woofers of 165mm in diameter each, one midrange of the same size and a 25mm tweeter.

The system reproduces sound in the range from 25 to 40 thousand Hz. Impedance – 4-8 ohms. Sensitivity – 91dB. The maximum recommended input amplification power is 300W. Rated power – 170W per channel.

The connection is provided with the possibility of using Bi-Amping and Bi-Wiring circuits. Screw connectors for connecting cables with gilding.

Advanced users and experts are largely unanimous in terms of appreciating the HECO Music Style 900 as an example of exemplary German quality. In addition, many agree that this is a relatively rare case when a manufacturer makes acoustics specifically for music, and not just for movies.

HECO Music Style 900 receives strongly positive feedback for high-quality and appropriate materials – silk in the tweeter, paper in the cone, high-quality rubber surround with precise movement. All this, combined with impeccably accurate assembly, gives an extremely accurate and delicate supply of material with outstanding detail for systems of this class.

Separately, it is worth praising the system for its wide compatibility with almost any amplifier, both transistor and tube. This is facilitated by the same high quality of materials and assembly, but to a greater extent still high sensitivity. To fully unlock the potential, a more or less powerful amplifier is still recommended – first of all, to get full-fledged bottoms.

There are also suggestions that the most adequate quality of the sound material in the HECO Music Style 900 is achievable only with the Bi-Amping connection, but this statement is not universal, and the result will still depend more on the amplifier.

The best high-end floor standing speakers

Now let’s move on to the most interesting part of the review of the best floorstanders according to Simplerule magazine. Here we will talk about systems that are close in all respects to the premium class. Let us remind you once again that in our review we introduce the reader to vivid examples of high-quality systems available to the mass consumer. Hi-End acoustics with a price of many hundreds of thousands or, moreover, millions of rubles is a topic for a separate review.

Focal Chorus 726

Rating: 4.9

12 Best Floorstanding Speakers

First, consider the Chorus 726 system manufactured by the French private company Focal-JMLab. It was founded in 1979 by audio engineer Jacques Maul. The headquarters is located in the hometown of Maoule Saint-Etienne.

Chorus 726 is a passive 49-way Hi-Fi system with front bass reflexes and monopolar radiation. The range of reproducible frequencies is from 28 to 40 thousand Hz. The minimum recommended input amplification power is 250W, the maximum is 91.5W. Sensitivity – 300dB. The crossover frequency is 8Hz. Nominal impedance – 2.9 ohms, minimum – XNUMX ohms.

The physical characteristics of the system are as follows. The dimensions of a single speaker are 222mm wide, 990mm high and 343mm deep. Weight – 23.5kg. The body is made of MDF, the walls are 25mm thick. Inside the wall surfaces are not parallel to avoid standing waves. Amplifier connectors – screw. The column includes four radiators – two low-frequency drivers, each 165mm in diameter, one mid-range of the same size and a 25mm tweeter. The design is strict, solid, noticeably meticulous attention to detail, impeccable quality of materials and jewelry assembly.

In assessing the technical quality of Chorus 726, both experts and ordinary users are unanimous – this is a truly high-class technique. Here attention to the smallest details is noticeable and well felt, as well as the foresight of the designers and developers. So, in addition to the already mentioned shape of the internal space, in the Chorus 726 speakers, phase inverters are best optimized from an aerodynamic point of view; The speaker cones are made of a special Polyglass material, which, thanks to its structure (coated paper with the inclusion of glass microbeads), gives lightness, and at the same time rigidity plus internal damping. The crossover here is completely taken from the same one that was previously installed on the flagship acoustics Focal Grande Utopia.

The sound of the speaker system receives the highest ratings from independent testers, who note exceptionally natural timbres, high detail, tight bass, a spacious stage, precise localization and transparent upper register. Some experts note shortcomings in accuracy at high frequencies.

HECO Aurora 1000

Rating: 4.8

12 Best Floorstanding Speakers

It will continue the selection of the best high-end floorstanding speakers Aurora 1000 manufactured by the German specialized company HECO. The company entered the market back in 1949 and since then has been known throughout the world for high-quality consumer and professional acoustic systems.

Aurora 1000 is a passive Hi-Fi acoustic system with bass-reflex acoustic design and monopolar radiation. Unlike the previous and some other described models, the phase inverter in the speakers is located from the rear. This is not to everyone’s liking, as it does not allow you to install speakers close to the wall. But this, nevertheless, is not a disadvantage.

The dimensions of one column are 235mm wide, 1200mm high and 375mm deep. Weight – 26.6kg. The column contains two low-frequency radiators 200mm in diameter each, one mid-frequency radiator with a diameter of 170mm and a tweeter with a size of 28mm. The connectors for connecting the amplifier are gold-plated, screw. A bi-wiring connection scheme is provided.

Compared to all the above models, the Aurora 1000 has the most impressive power potential. So, the minimum recommended amplification power here is 30W, and the maximum is as much as 380W. The system reproduces sound vibrations in the frequency range from 22 to 42500 Hz. Sensitivity – 93dB. The crossover frequency is 260Hz. Minimum impedance – 4 ohms, nominal – 8 ohms.

The Aurora 1000 is the flagship of the Aurora series, and it’s not just the hefty price that shows it. Experts appreciate the thorough German (in the best sense) approach to the smallest nuances. The rigid body received additional internal reinforcement to eliminate even the slightest chance of resonances and overtones. Each speaker is mounted on a special metal podium through massive metal pendulum spikes with adjustable height.

In terms of sound, experts point out in this model high resolution, the finest transfer of microdynamics, precise localization, clear focusing of sound images, a generally coherent scene and a number of other positive points.

DALI OPTICON 8

Rating: 4.8

12 Best Floorstanding Speakers

And this part of the review of the best floorstanding speakers according to Simplerule magazine will be completed by another bright product of a well-known Danish company – premium acoustics DALI OPTICON 8. This is the most expensive model compared to all the previous ones, it is almost twice as expensive as even the very expensive HECO Aurora 1000. In the DALI range there is a younger model of the same series – OPTICON 6, which, of course, is inferior to the “eight” in everything, but it is much cheaper.

The acoustic profile of OPTICON 8 is the same as that of most other systems in the review: bass-reflex acoustic design, monopolar radiation. 3.5 lane system, passive type with great power potential. The operating frequency range is from 38 to 32 thousand Hz. Sensitivity – 88dB. The crossover frequency is 390Hz. The maximum sound pressure is 112dB. Nominal impedance – 4 ohms. The minimum recommended amplification power is 40W, the maximum is 300W.

The dimensions of each speaker in the DALI OPTICON 8 system are 241mm wide, 1140mm high and 450mm deep. Weight – 34.8kg. Gold-plated screw terminals, it is possible to connect according to the bi-wiring scheme. Each speaker contains two 203.2mm diameter woofers, one 165mm midrange driver, one 28mm dome tweeter and an additional 17x45mm ribbon tweeter.

As far as the technical quality of the OPTICON 8 is concerned, there is not the slightest doubt – the premium class is clearly visible here in the quality of the components and the flawless assembly. The quality and high cost (in a good way) of materials are also clearly visible to any specialist.

In terms of assessing the sound quality, a certain negative can only come from those who have specific prejudices in front of speaker systems of the DALI brand. Otherwise, experts agree on the high characteristics of natural timbres, the correct placement of accents, detail, resolution and other typical parameters.

Opticon 8 can be confidently recommended for large rooms – an impressive potential in terms of power and supply scale will allow the system to truly “turn around”.

The best floorstanding speakers 5.1 and 7.1

And at the end of our review, let’s pay attention to one of the most popular speaker formats in everyday life, which is most often equipped with home theaters. These are 5.1 and 7.1 multichannel systems. Compatibility with our theme here is evident in the characteristics of the leading front speakers – they are massive and designed for floor installation.

MT-Power Elegance-2 5.1

Rating: 4.9

12 Best Floorstanding Speakers

From the assortment of 5.1 acoustic kits, Simplerule specialists singled out this particular system for reasons of the optimal ratio of price, quality and capabilities. 5.1 systems, by definition, are less “audiphile” and not as subtle requirements are put forward for them as for acoustics focused on thoughtful listening to music, so Elegance-2, although it cannot be called a cheap solution, is far from prohibitive in terms of quality.

Elegance-2 is a generally passive speaker system in which only the subwoofer is active (has a built-in amplifier). The total rated power of the system is 420W, the total maximum is 1010W. The operating range of reproducible frequencies is from 35 to 20 thousand Hz.
