Loudspeakers are the most important component of any stereo system (or surround sound system). Simply put, the speaker takes analog signals from an audio cable and turns them into audible sound waves, allowing you to listen to your favorite recordings. onSpeakers.com is a portal offering professional speaker reviews (not just audiophiles; our writers have made audio Hi-Fi their careers). You will find JBL Audio, Klipsch and Bose here, you will also find many smaller, less known loudspeaker brands; our preference? Great sound!

The Speakers Directory
Stereo Speakers
Stereo Speakers produce a spatial listening experience from two separate channels of audio. Extremely versatile, they come in many shapes and sizes and are great for listening to music.
Computer Speakers
Computer Speakers give home computers a greater potential as an integrated entertainment system. Easily connected to computers with USB, Firewire, RCA or eighth inch stereo jacks, they’re a drastic improvement on the internal speakers that are built directly into the PC.
Wireless Speakers
Wireless Speakers simply deliver sound without any cables eliminating wire messes and allowing for more mobility. Unfortunately they are prone to dropouts and are dependent on range which will generally compromise the audio quality.
Outdoor Speakers
Outdoor Speakers bring audio into settings like gardens and patios. Built to be rugged, they are weather resistant and come with or without wires. Often camouflaged, they can be disguised as anything from rocks to plants to garden ornaments.
In-Wall Speakers
In-Wall Speakers use walls and ceilings as a glorified speaker cabinet. In Wall speakers provide great bass response while taking up barely any room at all. They are installed directly into the wall or ceiling and are great for home theater set-ups.
Portable Speakers
Portable Speakers can be used to pump out tunes from ipods, MP3 players or laptops while on the go. An alternative to headphones, they are battery powered with built-in amplifiers providing great portability and moderately good sound.
Surround Speakers
Surround Speakers refer to the rear left and right speakers in a surround sound array. Ambient and special effects sounds such as footsteps or the effect of a passing train are reproduced with these speakers.
Speaker Cables
Speaker Cables can provide great audio transport between speaker and amplifier with minimal power loss. Two-conductor wire that comes in various lengths and gauges should be matched to the impedance of a speaker.
