Bookshelf Speakers

Wharfedale EVO4.2 Bookshelf Speakers

The best bookshelf speakers for sale in New Zealand

Bookshelf speakers are designed to be placed on a well-designed stand, table, shelf or other raised surface, not on the ground. Made for small and medium-sized rooms or surround speaker in a home theatre setup, these speakers provide a wide range of features. They are also really popular. They could have a better low-frequency responsiveness due to their tiny size. If you’re a movie or music fan, though, you may want to add a subwoofer in order to get the most out of these speakers. Bookshelf speakers are often used in conjunction with a powerful subwoofer as part of a home theatre surround sound system.

Bookshelf speakers with built-in amplifiers can be used as stand-alone systems on their own. This eliminates the need for an external amplifier or receiver, resulting in a more compact and portable speaker system. This is especially helpful if you’re using a turntable or a small pair of stereo speakers to improve the sound quality of your TV. Also known as an Active Speaker system.

Bookshelf speakers for sale from Distinction Audio cover the spectrum from the most basic to the most opulent high-end needs. You can get high-quality audio equipment in a stylish design from Distinction Audio for a great price.

Bookshelf speakers have been at the heart of the party since the golden days of hi-fi systems that were integrated and even colour-matched to the furniture. In terms of value, they still have the finest balance between sound quality and size.

Frequently asked questions

Do bookshelf speakers sound better than soundbars?

Soundbars often do not match the audio quality of bookshelf speakers. This is because they provide a broader stereo spectrum, have bigger drivers that can create greater frequency response, and often have a higher efficiency rating and wider frequency range than that of soundbars.

Can you place bookshelf speakers on the floor?

Never position your speakers so that they are directly on the ground. Invest in or build at least a simple stand to safeguard your technological equipment in the event of an unforeseen disaster.

How would you connect an Active bookshelf speaker to the TV?

If your TV doesn’t HDMI connections for audio output, it may feature an Optical output (TOSLINK) output. You may use this to link your TV to the active speakers system. Use an audio Optical plug on your television’s output and an audio Optical Input plug on your speakers to do this.

Where should you ideally place your bookshelf speakers?

If your space is a rectangle, the speakers should be positioned towards the far end of the rectangle so that they project over the length of the room. To avoid reflections, place the speakers 500mm from the walls. To archive optimal speaker placement place the speaker the same distance from each other as the distance from the listening position creating an triangle.

Is there an ideal height to place bookshelf speakers?

While measuring the distance from your ears to the floor may be more accurate when just one person is using the speakers or when you often have visitors over, an average ear height of 91 to 96.5 centimetres is generally just as good.
