Floor-standing speakers, also known as tower speakers, are tall units designed to stand on the floor without the need for additional support or stands. Unlike bookshelf speakers, which are compact and intended for placement on shelves or stands, floor-standing speakers are larger and typically house multiple drivers to cover a broader frequency range, including bass, midrange, and treble. This larger size and increased driver count often result in more powerful sound output, deeper bass, and a wider soundstage, making them well-suited for larger rooms or as the main speakers in a high-fidelity stereo or home theater system.
