Bookshelf speakers are a cornerstone of every home (whether it is for daily listening, home theatres, or parties). Ever since the introduction of hi-fi systems, speakers have been considered not only a necessity for listening to music, but also a part of home décor. These days, bookshelf speakers integrate cutting edge technology with sleek designs that match every aesthetic. The best bookshelf speakers will have the perfect balance between size, audio quality, features and price.

When you are looking for a good set of bookshelf speakers there are a few things you should consider:

Are they active or passive speakers? Passive speakers are a more classic style system that need to be powered by an external amp. Active speakers are becoming increasingly popular and have a built in power amp.

When considering a bluetooth speakers buying guide, it’s important to ask: does the speaker offer both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technology? This capability allows you to stream music directly from your devices and control the speakers through an app, providing not only a wire-free setup but also a visually pleasing one.

What is the sensitivity and power of the speakers? This is going to tell you how loud your speakers are and is measured in decibels or watts. This is an important measurement to know depending on what you will be using your speakers for.

To help you find the best bookshelf speakers for you, we have compiled a list of the top 15 bookshelf speakers in Singapore in 2020.
