If you want quality sound from small packages, then give R3’s a shot. Phenomenal sound quality for bookshelf speakers. They do music amazingly and movies extremely incredibly too, these stylish speakers push performance to new extremes. A great investment for me and proud to have them set up in my home system!

When it comes to bookshelf speakers nothing beats the RP-600M from Klipsch for me. At a $550 price point, this speaker may not be considered a high-end one but it punches way above its weight when it comes to matching the sound quality of $2500-$3000 speakers. It has superb imaging, warm sounstaging and a robust, deep drilling base that will surprise even the most expert audiophile.

If you are looking for a solid, no-fuss pair of speakers then Elac has you covered. The reasons to buy these speakers are the sound is crystal clear, it has excellent clarity, and the bass is articulate and quite agile. Elac has been manufacturing speakers since the eighties, they are a trusted brand that is my go-to. These speakers are a fantastic choice for family movie nights and are good value for money.

When it comes to quality, nothing beats the KEF LS50 Meta. This is the upgraded version of the LS50s. It has the new Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT), which reduces distortion and resonance. It is built for the new generation with a wide range of connectivity that’s easy to use. Whether it be from Spotify Connect to Chromecast, Apple AirPlay 2, and Roon, you’ll be playing music in seconds no matter what your source is.
