Best Speakers For Vinyl: Full Product Guide (July 2022)
1. Dali Spektor 2
(Best All-Around Speakers)
2. Elac Debut B5.2
(Best Budget Speakers)
The Elac Debut speakers are my pick for the best budget option, especially when paired with a high-end system. Featuring great dynamic expression and tonal sophistication, they are a versatile choice with a reasonable price tag.
3. Triangle Borea BR08
(Best Floorstanding Speakers)
The BR08 Floorstanding speakers punch hard. Those twin bass drivers dig deep, but still remain agile and articulate. You'll need a large room to hear them at their best.
4. KEF LS50 Meta
(Best Compact Speakers)
The LS50 is a reincarnation of the original LS50 speaker, which launched back in 2012. The new model features some great improvements, most notably the new Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) to absorb sound and prevent distortion. The technology really works, delivering a much cleaner and more sophisticated sound than their predecessors.
5. Klipsch R-28PF
(Runner-Up Floorstanding Speakers)
Klipsch speakers are known for their high sensitivity and low distortion with a wide dynamic range. These powerful speakers have a 260-Watt built-in integrated amplifier which pack a punch with the deep bass audio output. If only the higher notes sounded better, this would be the go to floorstanding speaker on the list.
6. Sony SSCS5
(Runner-Up Budget Speakers)
These Sony speakers are surprisingly versatile for the price. The sleek style will blend into any home’s design, and they don’t require any special set up or extra equipment. The speakers include a rigid 5.12-inch MRC woofer that provides deep bass sounds, and a 0.98-inch tweeter and 0.75-inch super-tweeter that further enhance the sound.
7. Audioengine A5+
(Runner-Up Compact Speakers)
The Audioengine A5+ speakers are grille free and feature a 5-inch Kevlar woofer. Vinyl lovers will enjoy the clarity of sound and the depth and clarity that the frequency range provides. The inputs include Bluetooth, AUX, and RCA input/output.
8. Dali Oberon 5
(Best High-End Speakers)
The Dali Oberon 5 are the high-end option on our list. They feature pure performance thanks to skillful engineering and steady refinements over the course of many years. These exceptional performers offer dynamic subtlety and rhythmic precision.
