Which speaker should I buy?

In order to answer this admittedly not particularly easy question in detail, you will probably not be able to avoid a personal consultation. And our loudspeaker, HiFi & high-end professionals are already looking forward to it! But we would like to give you some help in making your decision and provide you with an overview that will help you find the right speaker for you.

Only big speakers deliver big sound?!

We need to clear up this fallacy. Of course you are right that large speakers also offer a particularly comprehensive sound, as their weight and volume mean they have a low-vibration and expansive sound body. But in many cases it is worth looking at compact and bookshelf speakers, because who of us has a concert hall as their living room? In addition, speaker technology today already allows for super-compact systems. In many cases, this is even possible without any loss of sound experience. In the early eighties, many of the now common speaker configurations and concepts would have been considered completely out of the question.

What is the difference between active and passive speakers?

Which speaker should I buy if I don't want cables?

If you want to buy speakers, you have probably already thought about whether you should get something “modern” or “practical”. Only a few years ago, the wireless speaker solutions especially in HiFi and high-end areas were frowned upon because the loss of power and the latency, i.e. the delay in signal transmission, sometimes affected the listening experience immensely. What has changed? As history has shown, the innovative power in this industry has always been extremely high. This is also reflected today in the Bluetooth & WLAN Speakers. With the introduction of high-frequency transmitters and receivers, high power loss and limited sound reproduction are a thing of the past. Unfortunately, most wireless speakers are still trapped in closed systems, so third-party providers such as Apple's AirPlay have to be used. The big advantage here, however, is that the systems are uncompromisingly coordinated in their communication with and among each other. This means that you can buy a closed but well-coordinated system. The biggest criteria when buying wireless speakers are no longer the sound quality, but rather aesthetic and functional aspects, which can basically only be answered individually.

Our conclusion on buying speakers:

floor-standing speakers Due to their physical properties, they produce a more balanced sound than compact or bookshelf speakers and at first glance also outdo wireless speaker systems . However, they are only suitable for larger rooms, as you would have to place the speakers up to one meter away from walls for optimal sound development. Shelf and compact speakers, on the other hand, are perfect for medium-sized (around 24m^2) and smaller rooms, as they are designed to use the nearby reflection surfaces, such as a shelf or corners and rear walls, as radiation surfaces to complete the sound. Of course, the location and type of setup or installation must also be taken into account with wireless systems in order to exploit the physical properties of the room and the speakers in such a way that the best possible sound image is produced. However, wireless speakers offer the greatest flexibility here. In addition, private music collections are becoming increasingly digitalized. Therefore, it makes sense to network the entire home. Finally, no more "where do I hide the cable now?"... assuming, of course, that you already have the right speaker cable to connect your newly purchased loudspeakers in a worthy manner. But don't worry. As explained at the beginning, when you buy loudspeakers, a personal consultation, by phone or in writing, will always offer you the best support in finding exactly the right loudspeaker for you. If you live near Darmstadt, you can always test the loudspeakers. The listening experience speaks for itself. We look forward to your visit!
