Cheaper models may be impressively loud, but can cause nasty vibrations if design corners have been cut. The best designs have internal bracing which prevent resonance colouring the sound. </span></strong></p> <h2 class=”p1″><span class=”s1″>Speaker and amp pairing advice</span></h2> <p class=”p1″><span class=”s3″>It’s rare to find completely incompatible speakers and amps these days, but before you buy do check that the ohms of both are compatible (speakers usually carry ratings between four and eight ohms; amps typically four to 16 ohms) and – to make a huge generalisation – that your amplifier is 50 per cent more powerful than your speakers.</span></p> <h2>How to get the best sound from <span class=”s2″> floorstanding speakers</span></h2> <p class=”p1″><span class=”s2″> Floorstanding speakers are designed to project sound at your ear level when sitting. Ideally, you should keep the speakers well spaced and at least 30cm away from any surfaces to get the best result.</span></p> <section class=”highlight “><div class=”highlight__content

live performance Klipsch’s Reference Premiere series offers 11 options including bookshelf, surround sound, subwoofers and centre channels, so you can tailor a system to suit your home and budget. The flagship RP-8060FA II are imposing floorstanding speakers with excellent quality cabinets. With upward firing Dolby Atmos speakers hidden in the top, their performance is forceful and dynamic, while their spun copper eight-inch Cerametallic woofers with a distortion-absorbing aluminium Faraday ring add depth and power to low frequencies. And their Tractrix horn technology works wonders with the higher frequencies, perfect for live concert recordings and movies. </span></p> <div class=”monetizer__price-comparison-container” data-position=”adhoc” hidden> <h5 class=”monetizer__price-comparison-title monetizer-title” style=”background-color: #; color: #000000″></h5> <div id=”monetizer__deals” data-type=”price-comparison” data-config='{“shopId”:”1378″,”market”:”gbp_en”,”template”:”default”,”searchKeywords”:”https://www.amazon.co.uk/Klipsch-Reference-Premiere-RP-8060FA-floorstanding/dp/B07G3D7BWF”,”excludeKeywords”:””,”geolocation”:true,”limit”:”4″,”priceRange”:”1400-2600″,”sid”:”page-classicalmusic-0-pcs-txt-pos”}’></div> <div class=”monetizer__price-comparison-explanatory-text body-copy-extra-small editor-content”></div></div> <p> </p> <h3 class=”p2″><span class=”s2″>Q Acoustics 3050i </span></h3> <div class=”image-handler__container image-handler__container–full” style=”padding-bottom: calc(100% * (1586 / 666));”> <picture><source media=”(max-width: 320px)” data-srcset=”https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/24/2022/07/qacousticscmyk-56ed7a5.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=300%2C714, https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/24/2022/07/qacousticscmyk-56ed7a5.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=45&amp;resize=600%2C1429 2x” type=”image/webp”><source media=”(max-width: 320px)” data-srcset=”https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/24/2022/07/qacousticscmyk-56ed7a5.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=300%2C714, https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/24/2022/07/qacousticscmyk-56ed7a5.jpg?quality=45&amp;resize=600%2C1429 2x” type=”image/jpeg”><source media=”(max-width: 375px)” data-srcset=”https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/24/2022/07/qacousticscmyk-56ed7a5.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=355%2C845″ type=”image/webp”><source media=”(max-width: 375px)” data-srcset=”https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/24/2022/07/qacousticscmyk-56ed7a5.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=355%2C845″ type=”image/jpeg”><source media=”(max-width: 425px)” data-srcset=”https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/24/2022/07/qacousticscmyk-56ed7a5.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=405%2C964″ type=”image/webp”><source media=”(max-width: 425px)” data-srcset=”https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/24/2022/07/qacousticscmyk-56ed7a5.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=405%2C964″ type=”image/jpeg”><source media=”(max-width: 589px)” data-srcset=”https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/24/2022/07/qacousticscmyk-56ed7a5.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C1319″ type=”image/webp”><source media=”(max-width: 589px)” data-srcset=”https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/24/2022/07/qacousticscmyk-56ed7a5.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C1319″ type=”image/jpeg”><source media=”(min-width: 992px)” data-srcset=”https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/24/2022/07/qacousticscmyk-56ed7a5.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C1476″ type=”image/webp”><source media=”(min-width: 992px)” data-srcset=”https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/24/2022/07/qacousticscmyk-56ed7a5.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C1476″ type=”image/jpeg”><source media=”(min-width: 768px)” data-srcset=”https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/24/2022/07/qacousticscmyk-56ed7a5.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=408%2C972″ type=”image/webp”><source media=”(min-width: 768px)” data-srcset=”https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/24/2022/07/qacousticscmyk-56ed7a5.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=408%2C972″ type=”image/jpeg”><source media=”(min-width: 590px)” data-srcset=”https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/24/2022/07/qacousticscmyk-56ed7a5.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=556%2C1324″ type=”image/webp”><source media=”(min-width: 590px)” data-srcset=”https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/24/2022/07/qacousticscmyk-56ed7a5.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=556%2C1324″ type=”image/jpeg”><img class=”wp-image-169113 align size-full image-handler__image image-handler__image–full no-wrap js-lazyload” data-src=”https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/24/2022/07/qacousticscmyk-56ed7a5.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C1476″ width=”666″ height=”1586″ alt=”” title=””></source></source></source></source></source></source></source></source></source></source></source></source></source></source></picture></div> <p class=”p3″><span class=”s2″>A few years old now, these floorstanders remain the best-value around. Available in black, white, walnut or grey, the MDF cabinet features a special bracing structure that helps minimise unwanted vibrations, while HPE (Helmholtz Pressure Equaliser) tubing technology helps to equalise the air pressure inside, eliminating resonance. Playing hi-res pieces from my laptop (using Tidal) combined with my Marantz HD-AMP1, I was thrilled by the energy on offer.
