People are always looking for ways to liven up their home theater system. Those same people might be surprised to find that there is a really easy way to spice up your home theater. Are you ready for this? Upgrade your rear channel to floor standing speakers. Yep it can be that easy. Let me give you a few reasons why this is a great idea.
First of all, floor standing speakers are going to cover a wider range of sound. With the advances in audio formats like Dolby TruHD and DTS HD, there is a real need for the wider range of audio. Here are some statistical analysis: the KEF IQ 10 bookshelf speaker have a Frequency Response of 50Hz-40 kHz and the KEF IQ 70 floor standing speakers have a Frequency Response of 36Hz 40 kHz. What that means to you is a more accurate depiction of sound. Let’s say you are watching a movie and a plane swoops down behind you, the IQ 70’s would give you a “deep” sound that would be projected where assay the IQ 10s would not be able to match the richness and accuracy.
Just remember that there are usually two or three sizes of speakers in a series. Make sure that you do not make your rear channel speakers bigger than your fronts. For Example, if you have the KEF IQ 70 as your fronts, do not use the KEF IQ 90’s as the rears.
Now I know at this point you are getting ready to go browse through our awesome selection of floor standing speakers, but before you do here is yet another good reason that you should use floor standing for your rear channel. They look sexy! That’s right, there is nothing hotter looking then a nice tall speaker in the corner behind your favorite movie watching spot!
So take those cute-little rear channel speakers out of your system and hook them up to a good two channel receiver (I recommend the Yamaha RX-797) and put them in the bedroom, then log onto www.onecall.com and get the matching floor standing speakers for system and prepare to be amazed
