How to choose bookshelf speakers

Consider your room size and where the speakers will sit. Stands that bring the tweeters to ear height, with a little space from the rear wall, usually give the most balanced sound. Passive bookshelf speakers need an amplifier; if you'd rather skip one, look at our active speakers.

Bookshelf Speakers FAQs

Q: Can I put bookshelf speakers on a shelf?

A: Yes, but stands or a solid surface away from walls and corners generally gives clearer, more even bass.

Q: Do these speakers need an amplifier?

A: Yes. The Q Acoustics 5010 and 5020 are passive speakers, so pair them with a stereo amplifier or AV receiver.

Q: Can I use them for home cinema?

A: Yes. They work well as front or rear speakers alongside the Q Acoustics 5040 floorstanders and 5090 centre speaker.
