High end bookshelf speakers vs more common brand floorstanding speakers??

[supaman72]

I was wondering what people thought were better smaller bookshelf speakers from PSB and Paradigm vs comparably priced floorstanding speakers from brands like klipsch and Polk ?

In general, prefer both the PSB and Paradigms. But if I were you, just go listen. But if you are trying to compare at the same price points, remember to factor in the stands to the cost of the bookshelf speakers.

Room size too ; Do you have the room for tower speakers !

THERE AREN'T ANY STUPID QUESTIONS ! JUST STUPID RESPONSES !!


BETTER !!

By sacrificing some overall bass response, you’re gaining better drivers & crossovers, which will translate to better sound. Plus, the size of the smaller speaker will give a more open and unboxed sound.

It heavily depends on the amount of use, type of use, space constraints, and source material. I would never blindly recommend either 100% of the time.

You spelled responses wrong

Well, if you need the good bass response(dont have an awesome subwoofer), and you have the space get the floorstanding. Lots of people use floorstanding for their FL and FR speakers, because with the center they handle the majority of the work in the higher frequencies.
