Bookshelf speakers that will save on space and rock your ears

Music is an experience on its own and bookshelf speakers are the solution to compact and expressive sound. Although they do not immerse you into the theatrical world of your favorite action movies like that 7.2 channel home theater, they will rock your ears with beautiful mid range sound.

Bookshelf speakers are flexible since you can place them anywhere around the house and with Bluetooth wireless technology you will never miss a beat from your favorite songs even when moving around the house.

Anyone who owns bookshelf speakers can attest to the relaxing ambiance they create, as you peruse pages of an engrossing novel with your favorite classics or jazz playing in the background. Here are a few top rated bookshelf speakers that you can purchase to crank up life into your home.

Edifier S2000 pro

The edifier s2000 pro bookshelf speakers are a compact set that is aesthetically designed to match its sound quality. They have a wooden paneling that houses the flat diaphragm tweeter and the 5.5-inch aluminum woofers. This bookshelf speaker has an inbuilt amplifier that outputs 100 watts for both speakers to give you a crisp clear sound with decent bass.

Connecting these bookshelf speakers is effortless as they have coaxial and optical inputs. There is a small screen that shows the various equalizer presets or different playback modes.

Bluetooth 4.0 with apt X codec allows you to enjoy high fidelity music from your phone or iPod from surprisingly long distances while controlling the playback using a small remote control. On the downside, the speakers do not have a built-in WiFi module to stream music from Spotify or Youtube or a sub out port. However, they still make decent rear speakers for your home theater.

Klipsch R-51M

The 62Hz of bass from the Klipsch R-51M will make you play your favorite music list back to back for hours. The speakers have a 1-inch aluminum tweeter mated on a 90 by 90 mm Tactrix horn that produce clear highs. You will also be amazed by the deep bass that these bookshelf speakers produce.

The tractrix horn is also designed to cancel out artificial reverb and other stray echoes from the walls. With the Bluetooth 4.0 wireless connectivity, you will play your music from any place in the room.

I am currently playing Canon de pachel in D major in my bedroom on these speakers and am in heaven! The acoustics are crystal clear and surreal and there is a robust build-up from highs to a deep bass from an incredibly small size of speakers.

Features

200 watts power handling

Frequency response 68 Hz -21 kHz

Bluetooth 4.0 wireless connectivity

NOTE : When choosing an amplifier for your bookshelf speaker you should not necessarily look at its power handling because this is the maximum power the coils can handle without burn out. Instead, you should look to match the amplifier output RMS ; if a speaker is rated 60 RMS the amplifier maximum output RMS should be close but not exceed 60 RMS.

Sonos One speaker

If you are into Sci-fi like music stereos, this bookshelf speaker is for you. You can purchase one or a pair of them.

They are humidity resistant and you can even listen to your music as you have a shower.
