Any audiofile will want to find good places to set up their home stereo system. If you look at decibel levels, you’ll find that if you have more speakers attached to a system, you can have the music be at a lower volume and equally present anywhere in the room you’re setting up. Obviously, if you’re going to have more speakers attached to a system, you should use smaller speakers, making small bookcase speakers ideal.

What is a bookcase speaker? It’s a speaker designed to fit in a small space, like a bookshelf, or cabinet, or maybe under a table or suspended form the ceiling, without looking too intrusive.

There are several different brands and models of bookshelf speakers. Some popular brands include Sony, Bose, Insignia, Polk Audio, Yamaha, JBL, Logitech, and there are plenty others. You might ask the internet for more information on any of those or other.  Most of  these systems will be anywhere from as low as 20 watts to as high as 150 watts.

There are a variety of speaker arrays for these small speaker boxes. Most typical is a combination of a right speaker and a left speaker, each with one larger woofer, usually around 4 to 5 inches in diameter, and a small tweeter, usually between 1 inch and 3 inches. Another popular speaker arrangement is to, again, have a left side and a right side containing several small speakers of equal size, for example, three or four 3-inch speakers on each side.

Some systems of bookcase speakers will have attachments for a subwoofer, that can be set in a different part of the room. These speakers typically have their own adjustable volume and are most often bet located in the corner of the room, perhaps behind a chair or plant, or something that breaks up the visual line.

A nice way to set up a nice stereo system is to set up a variety of bookcase speakers attached to one amp, on two different channels, so that you can have the option of one set of speakers, or the other, or both. Also, each set of speaker cones behaves differently and sounds different, and you might like to have more control over what frequencies you’re hearing at any given time.

Powered bookshelf speakers are compact units with a built-in stereo amplifier. This allows you to directly connect either an MP3 player, a television, a DVD player, a computer, or a game console. It’s not necessary to have a separate stereo amplifier or receiver. To accommodate these different devices, most models have a variety of different input connectors, such as TRS, XLR and phono input jacks.

When shopping for powered bookshelf speakers, be sure to check out not only the sound, but the convenience features as well. Some models have built-in USB ports and AC outlets, which can allow you to connect wireless devices. That way, you can either stream your music to other rooms, or receive streaming music from other rooms. Some MP3 players, such as the iPod, can have their batteries charged via these built-in USB ports.

Be sure to look for energy-saving features. Some models will automatically power down their amplifiers when music input has terminated, and power back up when music input is again sensed.

You’ll also want to shop for speakers that are magnetically-shielded. Without shielding, you won’t be able to use your powered bookshelf speakers close to your television or video monitor. If you don’t have a shelf on which to place these, then look for a model that can either be wall-mounted or that have an optional floor stand.

Sound and recording engineers may also find that these speakers can be useful in their work. By connecting the speakers to a professional sound mixer, they can be used for mixdown monitoring, for post-production and mastering, for mobile recording and playback, or for home studio monitoring. In these situations, a compact speaker size may be desirable.

You’ll be able to find these types of speakers in a variety of styles and price ranges. Be sure to shop for ones that best fit your needs.

A brief overview of bookshelf speaker systems reveals that such systems have changed greatly over the last two decades. Gone are the days when a bookshelf speaker was large, bulky and not easily moved about. Today, they’re far smaller yet far more capable of projecting sound that rivals what one might hear from a top-line movie theater audio system.

Even inexpensive $30 systems can deliver adequate levels of sound reinforcement. The sky’s pretty much the limit when it comes to speaker system prices, though. It isn’t unusual for a true audiophile desiring top quality sound to pay $1200 or more. Not to worry; a very nice system can be had for around $200, and adequate systems that are reliable and capable of decent sound can be found for less than a hundred dollars.

Such speakers systems come in all shapes and sizes. There are mini versions that come with rechargeable batteries and a wireless capability, making them good candidates for a small system that travels, for about $50. The current fad for man small bookshelf speakers are portable versions that make use of a USB connection that can be run to a laptop or PC. This effectively turns a home computer into a nice stereo.

For those into more traditional stereo systems, finding a nice pair of right-sized bookshelf speakers can be important. In this category, a very famous maker of stereos with a name that starts with ‘B’ makes a pair of bookshelf speakers that rivals the sound of that reproduced by much, much larger home stereo speakers. The best thing is that the speakers normally retail for about $170 before discounting.

Today’s new bookshelf speaker systems are also easier than ever to hook to a stereo or home theater system. Some are wireless while others make use of more traditional wired technologies. Almost every decent system also comes with a wall-mount bracket setup for those who get tired of the speakers sitting on a bookshelf. Just about any good system at every price point can be found online or bought at traditional retail outlets, too.

Good bookshelf speaker systems today can be had for well under $200 and in some cases for less than a hundred. Most are less than a quarter the size of bookshelf setups from just a decade or so ago, as well. Their sound reproduction capabilities can equal the sound put out by much larger speakers and almost all are able to be connected with little effort. 

White bookshelf speakers could be the perfect addition to any living room. While many people have either black or brown speakers, white speakers make are an attractively different way to both decorate your shelves and listen to your music.

Let us take a look at a couple of white bookshelf speakers available at the moment.

Cabasse Alcyone-W Satellite Wall / Bookshelf Mounted Speaker (White)

When you first look at this speak, the first thing that strikes me is how totally different it looks from the other set of speakers I just mentioned above. Whereas the other speakers were more of a standard speaker shape, this speaker has a look all of its own. It looks like something from the future, with its round satellite style appearance.

So there you have it, two very different white speakers. Obviously there are far more white speakers than this, many of which would be ideal for placing on your bookshelf to listen to music or home cinema. However, this at least gives you an idea of the kind of products that are available, so you can start to make an informed choice.

Making the best of small bookshelf speakers can be a daunting task. Where and how to place them, how far from where and at what height, the issues can be endless. There are numerous good answers to these questions, but the first thing you should be sure of, is that you have a good set of speakers to start with.

So whats inside you average bookshelf speaker? Not much at all. Most bookshelf speaker sets contain only the loudspeaker and the wire lead, so all it comes down to is the quality of the speaker itself right?

Buying a good brand will almost guarantee good quality. However, all speakers are not created equal, in good manufacturing companies many thousands of man hours are spent designing the simple box that the speaker fits into.

Audio dynamics is weird and wonderful world where the resonant frequencies caused by the shape, the type of material, any internal materials, and even the type and chemical composition of the glue inside plays a role. So if you were wondering why two nearly identical speakers can give completely different sound, now you know!

Having the best loudspeakers known to man will not help at all if you don’t have the right system to drive them. Matching your speakers to your amplifier is critical. Most loudspeakers have an ohms rating, and a wattage. Over-driving speakers will cause the mechanics inside the speaker to function really badly and almost always leads to failure. Under driving them will cause lower volume levels and much poorer audio quality than they were designed for.

The moral of the story is, match your speakers to your audio equipment, make sure that you have good quality speakers, and if you have any questions whatsoever, ask a professional. Small bookshelf speakers can give the you the best auditory experience of your life, or just an ordinary one.

Are you seeking to improve your sound system, but may be on a budget? Are you concerned that new components will be too large and infringe on the available space in your home? Bookshelf speakers may well be the solution to these simple problems.

As their name implies, bookshelf components are smaller than stand alone units, and are designed to fit on a bookshelf or desktop with limited available surface space. These smaller units can be placed on desktops, television stands, media consoles, or counter tops with ease and take up far less space than expected.

However, while smaller speakers take up less physical space they are no longer compromised by not being able to fill up the desired sonic space! Modern technology has insured that smaller interfaces, tweeters, woofers, and cabinets can create sounds that are by all means comparable to their larger prototypes. This is a boon to the amateur audiophile for many reasons.

Smaller components often cost less that traditional sized ones. This is for the simple fact that they are made with less materials, therefor being less expensive to build. But the materials that go into the making of such speakers can still be top rate, and the smaller size does not mean less volume or tone capabilities.

Many manufacturers of music reproducing equipment have taken on the task of producing high end audio supplies that will not tax a given space. A bit of research, be it online, in telephone directories, or through word of mouth by discussing your needs with friends and family, will likely point to a sound dealer with whom you can discover fine solutions.

When outfitting an area for stereo systems and components, size can matter. Thankfully, bookshelf speakers are available that can fulfill a demand for high quality audio without sacrificing too much floor space. There are speakers for every size and budget, and smaller can sometimes mean better.
