Buying speakers — common questions

Are speaker prices per speaker or per pair?

On this site, stereo-pair speaker types (towers, bookshelves, surrounds) always show the pair price — we double per-unit retailer listings and leave already-per-pair listings alone, because the retailers themselves are inconsistent and rarely loud about it. Each product page states the unit explicitly.

What makes a speaker hard to drive?

Low sensitivity plus a low impedance dip. Every 3 dB of sensitivity halves the power needed, and a dip toward 4Ω demands current that modest receivers can't always supply — the recipe for distortion or thermal shutdowns at volume. Sensitivity and impedance, explained.

Can you mix speaker brands in one system?

Surrounds, yes — they carry ambience, not dialogue, and can even be a class below your fronts. The front three (left, center, right) are the exception: buy them from one series so voices don't change character as sound pans across the screen. Where the money matters.

Do bookshelf speakers need a subwoofer for home theater?

Plan on one. Crossed over at the usual 80 Hz, the sub carries everything below — so your mains only need to reach the crossover, and a good bookshelf pair plus a sub beats towers on placement and bass control in most small and medium rooms. Bookshelves for small rooms.
