Although speakers can be shockingly expensive, many people look at a speaker’s purchase the same way they would look at a car purchase. Both come in different sizes, quality, prices, aesthetics, and performance levels. They are also both considered important investments, that’s why most people would spend weeks researching and test-driving the car they plan to buy. On the other hand, speaker shoppers would normally only listen to a demonstration at the big-box electronics store before purchasing a set of speakers that would probably last them longer than their cars. Not all purchases would provide you with the same satisfaction, though. You need to learn how you can buy the best speakers that match your musical needs, in your case, listening to Latin music. In this article, we teach you how to buy the best speakers that can play your Latin music in the best possible quality.

Measure the Space You Have

The space you have available at home for your speakers limits your search somehow and narrows your choices. It’s important to consider that most speakers would require some space to perform and produce sounds at their highest quality. Make sure you don’t only measure their size, but also the space they need around them to produce the best sound possible. However, the space needed around your speakers should not limit your research in terms of the quality of the product. There are many high-end brands that wouldn’t mind their speakers being placed with their backs close to the wall. However, these measurements are usually based on the nature of the sound wave produced by the model you choose, that’s why it’s better not to try your luck when a company suggests keeping a distance of 2 meters between their speakers and the wall.

Decide What You’re Going to Use the Speakers for

The key to deciding on the type of speakers you need is getting to know your listening habits. Most of the time, one pair of speakers is all you need to listen to music and watch movies at home. If you’re just looking to boost up the sound of your TV as well as listen to music, you can go for a soundbar or a combination of a soundbar and a wireless subwoofer. You can also install in-wall speakers or a couple of bookshelf speakers if you don’t see yourself sitting down and listening to music for long periods of time.

Figure Out Your Budget 

Figuring out your budget is one of the most obvious factors that impact your speakers’ purchase decision. You need to figure out how much you’re willing to spend. The smart way to do this is to decide on your budget before getting out there and letting the available options decide for you. You need to know how much you can dedicate to listening to your favorite Latin music. So make sure you establish your budget boundaries before even researching the type of speakers you want to buy.

Bi-wired or Single-Wired

This is an important factor to consider because speakers that are single-wired won’t allow for the option of bi-wiring in the future. You may think that there’s no difference in these speakers but there is. Many people don’t know this but the main differences between single-wired speakers and bi-wired speakers are the connection of cables and the amp’s ability to drive low and middle frequency signals separately. You need four terminals in your speakers in order to connect two sets of cables and produce sound with superior precision. However, if you’re not interested in bi-wiring your speakers, you can simply go for an amplifier that does not accommodate bi-wiring.

Placement 

Thinking about the placement of your speakers will lead you to a few questions including how many speakers can be incorporated into your house decoration system. For example, you may not be able to add a 7.1 system if you already have your chairs and couch up against the wall. Your speakers will also need a back surround space of about 3 to 4 feet away from you in order to perform effectively, as if there aren’t enough challenges for you placing surround speakers in a suitable spot. So make sure you study your living room or the area you’re planning to have the speakers in so that you can expect how many speakers you need and where their spot will be for them to perform at their best.

Buying speakers depends on so many different elements including your listening habits, budget, and available space at home. Our best advice is to decide on these factors before checking out what the market has to offer. That way, you’ll be prepared to select the product that offers the highest possible quality and fits within your budget.
