Floor Speakers
Floor speakers were a big hit in the audio electronics in 70s and 80s the.
Floorstanding speakers looked so impressive that even a "dodgy" amplifier speaker looked like a real "gem".
It is not surprising that many audio manufacturers tried to boost the appearance of the floor speakers.
In fact, it is very easy to mislead customers with these tall, overwhelming floorstanding speakers which give an impression of a power and quality.
Most floor speakers are also tower speakers.
The idea of floor speakers originated from the necessity.
It takes a lot of space to fit large woofer drivers and few midrange loudspeakers.
Most floorstanding speakers are internally amplified.
In the past, this sound speakers could house large power and signal transformers to boost the sound.
Today, the HI-TEC filtering technology still requires a decent space in the housing.
Floor Speakers Fashion
There was a period that floor speakers were losing to the electronic miniaturisation. However, music enthusiasts quickly realised that dynamic speakers still rule the quality. Therefore, the floorstanding speakers will continue to house the large drivers for years to come. The units also offer some fashion statements. Those who have traditional or retro furniture often blend the floor speakers into the overall home composition.
Floor Speakers Prices
You do not pay for the housing of the floor speaker but rather for the quality of the product. Today, the music manufacturers minimised the manual labour to produce the housing. Thus, unless you require a custom made box made of Mahoney, the price of the box will not hurt your pocket. On average, you can buy a floorstanding speaker with a decent box for $150. However, the same box housing a great quality amplifier speaker can sell for $1500. The good news is that your friends may never spot the difference (in case you bought the cheap system)!
