Imagine this: you’re on your sofa, with your favourite snacks in hand, all cuddled up and ready to watch a movie. You press play, only to discover 20 minutes in — you’re just not as immersed as you should be. If the thought of that upsets you, it’s time to invest in the best home speakers in Singapore in 2022 that can give you the same effect as being in a cinema! From soundbars and bookshelf speakers to floorstanding speakers, read on to find out how you can create the best home theatre system in Singapore!
Practically, the first thing to take note of is how much space you have to install the speaker. If you have a bigger living room, you can choose to install floorstanding speakers which would add an extra touch of aesthetics to your home too. But if you don’t have the luxury of space, you can consider a compact soundbar instead.
You’ll want a speaker that can give you the best home theatre system experience in Singapore. As such, it is important to look out for their sensitivity rating which tells you how effective it is at converting power into volume. The higher the rating, the louder your speakers will play with a given amount of power.
Different home speakers come with various price tags. Most standard bookshelf speakers are priced around $100. Meanwhile, more premium options like floorstanding speakers and soundbars can cost up to $1,000.
Soundbars are a type of home speaker that projects audio from a wide enclosure. They are usually mounted above or below a display device such as a television or monitor for both practical and aesthetic reasons. The best soundbars in Singapore have multiple speakers placed in a cabinet to help create a surround-sound effect.
