Choosing the Right Speakers for Each Room
From the Home Theater to the Kitchen and Outdoors, Too
Bigger is better, right? Well, not always. If you’re a music enthusiast hoping to upgrade to high-end audio, you might be eager to choose the largest floor-standing speakers for powerful sound. Floor-standing models are obviously impressive—but might not be the best choice for every room.
All to say: you’ve got options. Between smaller bookshelf speakers to tall floor models, choosing the right speakers requires balance. We use Klipsch speakers as an example for high-end audio due to the company’s robust sound quality, artfully crafted speakers, and abundant options. Read on to see which Klipsch speakers would fare best in your McAllen, TX home.

Larger Rooms: Open Floor Plan, Living Rooms
If you’re looking for audiophile-quality sound and have space, Klipsch’s floor-standing speakers deliver the power and full-range details you crave. Connect them to your TV or turntable and enjoy the larger driver and extra power that make floor-standing speakers special. We only caution that the dimensions of your room can affect the sound produced. Make sure you have plush furniture, carpeting, or soft materials on the walls to avoid echoes.
If you’re looking for multi-room audio with less clutter, in-wall and in-ceiling speakers are an alternative option. You can cover more ground without the bulk of large speakers or combine floor-standing with hidden audio in one system.
Smaller Rooms: Dining Room, Home Theater, Bedrooms, Office
You can certainly use floor-standing speakers in a home theater or media room setup, but if the room is on the smaller side, there might not be enough space for speakers to “breathe” and sound their best. If you want to hear bass frequencies in a smaller room, it’s wise to pair bookshelf speakers with a subwoofer, so you can control the volume and still hear low, mid, and high-range frequencies.
Bookshelf speakers may be smaller than floor-standing, but Klipsch’s Reference series won’t sacrifice quality for a compact size. Mount them on stands, the wall, or tuck them on a bookshelf—whatever works for your space!
Outdoors: Patio, Pool, Garden
Klipsch’s outdoor speakers are built to blend into greenery just like landscape lights, with subwoofers buried underground to deliver strong bass notes. Patio areas may do best with Klipsch’s surface-mounted outdoor speakers on your home’s exterior. Out in the yard, Klipsch’s small satellite speakers can spread sound evenly with help from burial subwoofers.
