FAQ

Tower speakers (aka floorstanding speakers) generally have more drivers and a larger cabinet than bookshelf or satellite speakers and thus are able to achieve greater dynamic range, deeper low frequency extension, and louder volumes. They also site directly on the floor and don’t require speaker stands or furniture, making them easy to place in a room. If you’re looking for a full-range speaker solution that doesn’t necessarily require a subwoofer, tower speakers are a great way to go. For information on how to choose between bookshelf and tower speakers, read more here: Choosing Between Bookshelf and Tower Speakers

Tower speakers are typically full-range loudspeakers used as the main left and right front speakers in a stereo or home theater surround sound system. Compared to soundbars they provide better overall stereo imaging (more on imaging here), as well as greater dynamic output and a broader soundstage because of the additional drivers and cabinet volume. For more information, read more here: 7 Reasons Why Home Theater Surround Sound Offers a Better Experience than a Soundbar.

As the name implies, floorstanding speakers (also referred to as tower speakers) are home theater or HiFi speakers that sit on the floor in front of the listener in a left/right array. In a home theater surround sound system, they often sit on either side of a dedicated center channel speaker making up the front stage. Normally they will be three feet or taller with the tweeter situated at ear level when a listener is sitting down. Most tower speakers require a separate AV receiver or power amplifier to operate.

Floor-standing speakers don’t require stands or furniture because as the name implies, they stand directly on the floor. Because of the larger cabinet size, floorstanding speakers (or towers) have multiple drivers and more cabinet volume, allowing them to play louder with greater dynamic range/impact, and deeper low frequency extension. This means you don’t always need to combine towers with a subwoofer for full-range sound as you would with bookshelf or satellite speakers, which don’t produce as much bass.
