Top 10 Best Floorstanding Speakers (2023)

[@kevinking1391]

We bought seven floor and wall speakers made by Klipsch for our stereo. Outstanding quality sound. You do get what you pay for. our set is over 10 years old now. They still sound like brand new. Such a rich tone.

[@johncameron4172]

Best sound is merely a personal preference for most people. I laugh when people want to get out their “calibrated microphone” and judge if it’s good or not. Most importantly, those people who think that high end expensive speakers and receivers are better than cheap ones. They’re dead wrong. 10 years ago and further back you had to pay more for better equipment the further back in time you went but not now. Those are just snobs that think they know something about audio when they don’t. They spent a lot of money on theirs. So, they definitely want to believe that it’s better. Not. Don’t get me wrong. You ain’t going to get audiophile quality from a $50 Walmart system.

[@bobble1476]

im so happy with my 12.3s they are clear and bassy wel happy and not to expensive😊

[@ManuelMedellin.]

Triangle Borea are true Budget Kings, you may also add the Canton GLE 496.2 which are dirt cheap but amazing at 600 $ a pair. Overall this is a fine Budget speakers list, but if we go to intermediate prices the Monitor Audio Silver 7G would beat all of them.

[@weeooh1]

I had no idea robots only research British or Euro speaker reviews for their top 10 lists.

[@jonasf4065]

Only Chinese made UK and EU speakers

[@toffe2ventil]

B&W 800 Series D4?

[@cwwang10]

The title needs one more word: budget

[@JohnMicius]

Bought the Dali Oberon 5 with Yamaha A-S701, i like them!

[@michaelangelo1955]

I would have to disagree with just about all of these. There's nothing wrong with your choices just categorization. Best might be replaced with " my most liked" or "best bang for the buck". As for best. That's so subjective. Personally, of what you have here I like the Wharfdales more than the others. But to place them above some if the B & W's, Focals, Vandersten, or even the Golden Ear Tritons in the same cost range as you're have here is a little much. I have the first gen 800D and they are better in my opinion, sonically, then the newer 803 D4, but that doesn't make the new ones crap. As a matter of fact the new 805D4 is truly astounding. I also have a pair of Tannoy 15" reds. Different but great. My take, for what it's worth, is to be a bit more accepting of the subjectivity of your audience. We all like what we like. I have a friend who believes that the Bose 901 is the best speaker ever made. Go figure. For me my best would be.... 10 different speakers from 10 different times in my life, with enough variation in room, amplification, source, etc. That even those might be different.

[@rodsheridan7048]

I have a pair of Klipsch Lascala’s, wouldn’t replace them with any of speakers listed in the video.

[@_alifeallmine_]

Polk Reserve R700 would fit right in here.

[@BigBaller-he1dz]

I have Paradigm Prestige 85f's and I gotta say I'm pretty happy with them

[@SoCalFreelance]

Are these back of the truck speakers? Never heard of these brands. 😂 KEF, JBL, B&W, Klipsch, FOCAL Sonus Faber

[@johngault-9597]

Many of us have....

[@jewelbell5]

All of these brands have mid to high end offerings. Your head must be in the sand, dude.

[@rogerchan1414]

Agreed😂

[@sengo2143]

JBL is gone. Klipsch became a joke.

[@SoCalFreelance]

@@sengo2143 Nonsense! JBL 4367 and Klipsch Cornwall IV are amazing audiophile speakers.

[@rodpinfold8824]

A great many awesome speakers not mentioned that would top the above in my opinion but then again my opinion. Monitor Audio, Focal, as well as North American brands stamp all over ear piercing Triangle’s tweeter that fatigue’s after 5 minutes. Like metal wind chimes at 120db, just saying

[@maurosavalli4491]

The Focal not in the ranking?

[@praveengaddam6737]

Focal is Over priced. Price to performance is very poor

[@davejones8811]

I own Focal Aria 948s and a pair of B&W 702s3. I prefer the Focals and they were £2000 cheaper.

[@cedlannoy]

And Focal ?

[@ianrusso8790]

wharfedale are the best bang foryour buck. I purchased a set of diamond ued and I really didn't know what I had untill i listened to....I paid almot nothing for them and they are incredible, the louder the clearer they get a pleasure

[@GIGGITUBE]

Sonus Faber? Polk Audio?

[@povertyspec9651]

Polk, lol

[@kennykennytheonlyway6351]

It is like best car for 2023. No1. Mazda 3 No2. Toyota corolla. Good speaker in your list but....... Best under $.....

[@lixtvofficial9008]

Nice speakers good for music lover thanks for sharing your video sir god bless you always

[@Antibackgroundnoise]

Towers are great for Mid to large sized rooms! But if ones listening environment happens to be small then one would be better off going with standmount speakers.. (bookshelves on stands) preferably with a sub or better still 2 subs.

[@andrewaajohnson7584]

Plonker, I've got ATC scm 40s in a small room and they don't overpower the room at all.Standmounts use the same floor space as floorstanders, as for adding a sub base that uses floor space also.My ATCs sound incredible here in my little room in Welshpool.🍻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@Antibackgroundnoise]

@@andrewaajohnson7584 Aww that's great news. I'm glad you're enjoying your reputable ATC's I wish I was able to have the same experience with my monitor Audio Silver floor standing speakers. Unfortunately I just couldn't get them to sound their best. I think it was too much room gain for my small 4 x 3.5 m (13 x 11.5 ft) room. Mind you I didn't have the positioning flexibility as I would have liked! But now as well as my two other sets of standmount speakers, my Sonus Faber standmounts sound amazing! Of course having them hooked-up to a stereo pair of 8" Rel subwoofers certainly helps out with the low end. As far as Tower floorspace goes anytime I used to get pissed and have to walk to the kitchen (for a top up) no more worry about knocking the bastards over 🥳 Here you go, you might be able to make out the little obstacle course within this short 2-Channel sound test video... kzbin.info/www/bejne/m16lZJ6grrGpraM

[@sanderzeegers]

I miss the Monitor Audio speakers.

[@ajayr8781]

I made the biggest mistake of my life, by buying Linn speakers. Their quality and customer service is zero from day one. I would have never anticipated to go through like this with a company that calls itself reputable. They like to hoard customer's money and then forget about them. Buyer beware!

[@srkumarkumar2341]

[@wellfightonthebeaches8961]

we're you paid for this.... it seems you missed out some big hitters..... since when have wharfdale out done b&w n kef🤷🏼‍♂️

[@TheRoyrules88]

[@stevenkoski228]

You confuse the term Best, which should be Cheapest. Speakers are not “melodic”, musical compositions are. Obviously B&W & KEF aren’t in your price-range assessment, & would easily crush your Top 10 model selections. They’re merely consumer-grade, budget-friendly speakers, not so much HiFi, as they are ChiFi, made in China. None approach being in the league of Class A, which audiophiles strive for.

[@Sluper84]

Sorry but B&W or Kef are not that good, they are expensive with good Build Quality, but good? No, they are much better Speaker for the Money,.... BetonArt Arrivator and Diverso, Bohne BB10L, Avangarde Acoustic, Abacus Trifon and many more. I personal love the old B&W Speakers (803s as an example) the newer ones are just expensive crap, and the Worst of them are the last 2 generations (D3 and D4), i find them just horrible.

[@BigBaller-he1dz]

Well said Steven Koski

[@mikedisher30]

Yes agreed but seriously guys your paying at least 2,500 CAD for tower speakers just to get into the audiophile territory. Anything 23khz and higher and at hitting the 27 to 28hz without a subwoofer, now your rocking. Steve is absolutely right none of these speakers even come close

[@bikefreak5787]

Not proud to say it, but my B&W 702 S2 are also made in China 😳

[@autumatickak7026]

[@veritasfan11]

[@djtranceporter855]

Wich one you have/like?

[@davejones8811]

[@gijzje]

This is so nonsense, The best speakers are the speakers a person likes best. In the audio chain there is just one inperfect link, and that are we , people . We listen to crap remastered and written to diverse media , and than expect to sound it like it should be original recorded. This is not going to happen since we all have different levels of hearing . So this review is just one persons top 10.

[@Kingcarparpeggio]

Best comment so far !!

[@nexus3180]

You are right it's all down to personal preference, what sounds best to you. I have never understood why you need best of lists for anything, it's just a marketing ploy.

[@gijzje]

@@nexus3180 right that, also talks about which cabling to use and all that audiophile tuff is only to drive the price up. at Philips they had a physics lab where they tested and created the audio stuff , whith death chamber to test speakers in a neutral environment. they found out that as long as speakers were stalled within 5 meters you could do with normal Cupper thin cable instead of the thicker expensive cables and so on.

Can’t beat the floor standing Sonus Farber’s. I bought (stole), a pair at an estate sale and they are unbelievable! Of course, they are hella expensive but then again, you get what you pay for in life!

[@johndicosta7993]

ya but u need a good integrated amp to pair a good speaker which raise the overall budget exponentially and i am not even including cables and other items like turn table or an extra DAC if ur really an audiophile......buying a good speaker is just the start of the journey..SF tho are a good one but i would either go for TEKTON double impact or Buchardt S400/300

[@ronalddevreede6738]

the cheap one's like the venere sound like crap

[@giannislarch]

Very interesting list. It's the 1st time I saw a list and almost totally agree...!😀 Congratulations! Although, let me do some comments please (for the shake of perfection... If there is any in this world)! A. Some scenes while narrating, are show slightly different model than one described! B. I would replace the Spendor A7 & Wharfedale evo 4.4, with their corresponding lower models, A4 & 4.3, for price reasons (and be more comparable with the rest). C. In.. Place.."1". Sorry but.. Little confusing! 12, 2,3,or something else ? 🤪 Again, I'm telling it is a very good list of relatively affordable, well known, good brands /models, that you can find in the market.
