What You Need to Know About B&W Bookshelf Home Speakers and Subwoofers

Whether you want to watch a movie or listen to a music album, a home theater system is capable of producing a high-quality audio experience. Compact and capable of producing high-fidelity sound, Bowers & Wilkins bookshelf home speakers and subwoofers can help create a pleasing home theater system.

Before the 1970s, high-quality home speakers and subwoofers used to be very large. As a result, they were exclusively designed as floor-standing speaker enclosures. Compact speakers, on the other hand, were of an inferior quality. Edgar Villchur and Henry Kloss came up with a design that allowed compact and portable speakers to reproduce sound of a much better quality. These compact high-quality speakers are referred to as bookshelf loudspeakers.

Due to their practicality, Bowers & Wilkins bookshelf speakers are often part of home theater systems and other home audio applications. Unlike regular stereo speaker systems, home theater systems use five or more speakers that are strategically located in a room to produce a surrounding, enveloping sound. Often, bookshelf loudspeakers are used for the side, front, back, and center channels. Bowers & Wilkins speakers of this type are practical choices when it comes to placement inside of a media room.

A subwoofer is a type of loudspeaker that generates and reproduces low frequencies. Roughly speaking, these low frequencies encompass the bottom two octaves of the spectrum, from 20Hz to 80Hz. By reproducing these frequencies with fidelity and power, a subwoofer helps to create a fuller, more complete, and more refined auditory range. In addition, a subwoofer gives the system additional power-handling abilities by taking care of the energy needs of the power-hungry bass.

The correct placement of your Bowers & Wilkins subwoofer can increase its volume and improve the general quality of the audio. Here are three things to take into consideration when deciding where to place the device:

• Cords: Typically, a subwoofer has a direct cable connection to the receiver. For reasons of practicality, safety, and tidiness, you may want to find a place for your subwoofer somewhere that makes it easy to hide its cables.
• Corners and walls: On some occasions, a subwoofer that is placed near a wall or a corner may be perceived as being louder and clearer. However, if it is incorrectly placed, the vibrations of the subwoofer against a wall may cause an unpleasant rumble.
• Finding the sweet spot: You may want to employ trial and error to find the sweet spot for your Bowers & Wilkins subwoofer. While reproducing audio with a lot of bass, move the subwoofer around to hear where the sweet spot is located.
