As they say, "small speakers, big sound." It really is true.
JBL is an American audio electronics company currently owned by Harman International. It was founded in 1946 by James Bullough Lansing. Their primary products are loudspeakers and associated electronics.
Great sound quality, and one of their speakers sold in the USA for over $3000 for one speaker.
Woodstock, Abbey Road, recording studios, cinemas, concerts, Grammys...much, much better than Bose. Biggest manufacturer in the world. Just the best loudspeakers!
Owned the D-9s and the LS-12, and both blew my ears out while sounding fantastic. Can't ask for much more than that.
Funky-looking speakers and loud too. They have put a lot of wattage in their bookshelf speakers. The VE-5M has a 5-inch woofer and is rated at 8Ω and 125W max (RMS). Cerwin Vega speakers are great value for money due to the loudness and slimness of their speakers.
Very clean sound. Clear highs and lows. First heard them in a BMW. Fell in love with the clean sound.
Very nice, clean design on most of their speakers and crisp sound quality.
Very clear and natural sound. They should be No. 2 after B&W. H/K is and will remain the best speakers in the USA.
Great speakers and sound quality. Almost all of their speaker cabinets are made from wood. Many of their speakers are great for home theaters and bands.
B&W is definitely one of the 3 best brands. Cerwin Vega... known as a disco loudspeaker... lots of bass but no definition. Jamo... better than Cerwin Vega. Bose... small, but are they really that good? Benchmark test against B&W needed. Harman Kardon... They make good amplifiers with a "rich" rather than analytic sound.
All the products from Behringer and its sub-brands have unique features and great sound quality.
Great sound quality and loudspeakers too.
Peavey is not famous just because of their guitars but also their P.A. equipment. Peavey has been around since 1965 and has been famous since that time.
The Newcomers
I have been listening to Klipsch since 1979. My wife bought my pair of Heresy I's in 1981. I now have a 7.1 room with those same speakers as my front speakers, and they still sound great. I have a bar in my basement that has four 1650's in the ceiling and two 10-inch wireless subs.
Both of my rooms have great sound reproduction, and I would put this brand against any of the others listed here. No way should Klipsch be out of the Top Ten! Just label me a huge fan of Klipsch!
Out of this top 10, these would be the best for stereo or surround sound.
As a brand in the top 5 for stylish products designed and overall sound quality.
Realistic music reproduction! Vocals as if the singer was just there! The soundstage is accurate, very wide, and deep. I purchased my first pair of Kef speakers in 1991 (the Reference 105.3, the first Reference model that used the Uni-Q design). I still use them in my main system.
I own three other pairs, one of them being the award-winning LS50.
One of the best and most reliable brands of the past 10 years. A variety of passive and active speakers, with great sound quality.
These are some of the best speakers, especially their soundbar range.
Most of their speakers are very loud and last a long time without problems. For example, the Z-2300 2.1 PC speaker system is 200 watts altogether (RMS power alone!) and the music power is 400 watts. It is also THX certified. If you want surround sound, upgrade to the Z-5500!
I don't own any Logitech speakers myself, but my school has three sets of small computer speakers made by Logitech. They are USB ones.
Swap this with Bose because Logitech speakers blow Bose speakers away.
I know their company is quite old, but you can get their speakers off eBay. The wood on the Optimus 1 and Nova 7 is strong. However, the only part that is cheap is the woofer frame. But if you take care of them, they will last.
