Speaker and amp pairing advice<\/span><\/h2>\nIt\u2019s 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 \u2013 to make a huge generalisation \u2013 that your amplifier is 50 per cent more powerful than your speakers.<\/span><\/p>\nHow to get the best sound from \u00a0floorstanding speakers<\/span><\/h2>\n\u00a0Floorstanding 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>\n - Best active speakers for listening to music<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n

<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\nVoted best for live performance Klipsch\u2019s 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>\n <\/div> \u00a0<\/p>\n

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. They\u2019re warm, engaging and offer plenty of punch and, impressively, don\u2019t complain too much if they\u2019re positioned in less-than-ideal spaces.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div> \u00a0<\/p>\n

The speaker configuration boasts a single Uni-Q driver \u2013 with a 19mm tweeter sat in the middle of the 10cm driver \u2013 and four back-to-back 5.25-inch drivers that brilliantly enable the low, mid and high frequencies of whatever you\u2019re playing to radiate from a single point, creating a huge soundstage and virtually no sweet spot.<\/span><\/p>\nWhatever I played through the LS60 Wireless sounded gobsmackingly good, and I\u2019m in awe of how well the slender speakers handled lower frequencies.
