The Best Floor Standing Speakers for your Hi Fi System

If you’ve got the room then some would contend you MUST have Floor Standing Speakers. What ever your view it must be said they are impressive - adding a particular presence to your listening room. Make sure you read this advice given by David Patching - Marketing Manager, Wharfedale

“Floor standing models should usually be positioned at least 200mm from the rear walls and 700mm from the side walls, facing slightly inwards.The bass extension will improve if these speakers are operated closer to the rear walls. A useful rule of thumb is that the listener should be as far from the loudspeakers as they are from each other.

If the loudspeakers are placed too close to the walls the bass will increase but may be boomy and indistinct. If the loudspeakers are placed further away from the walls, the inward angle may be increased by up to 40%, although this may restrict the width of the optimum listening position. The speakers should ideally be positioned so that the treble units are roughly at ear level to a seated listener. As personal taste plays a large role, experiment with different configurations and play a wide range of programmes before finalising the position of your speakers.

If you wish to place the speakers next to a conventional CRT television, please ensure your speakers use screened drive units and may be placed close to a TV screen without ill-effects. Conventional loudspeakers should not be operated within 50cm of a TV screen as the drive unit magnets may interfere with the picture and cause colour distortion.”
