Speaker Range

Floorstanding speakers are larger and tend to present a more powerful sound, so more ideal for the larger room.
Wall, Ceiling and Picture Speakers

Speakers are avaliable in an range of colours and some products can also be painted to match the decor of your room. Makes include Kef, Tannoy, Triad and there is also a range of high quality picture speakers from Artcoustic

Highly sophisticated electronics now can provide a 5.1 feel from a single speaker mounted below the flat plasma or LCD screen. Makes include Artcoustic, Artison, Denon, Polk Audio and Yamaha.
Outdoor Speakers
There is an increasing range of weatherproof outdoor speakers now available. Cleverly disguised as rocks, planters etc. these products add to the range of home entertainment products. Whilst designed as sealed units to withstand all weathers the quality is suprisingly good. Makes include Sonance and Niles.
Stands and Mounts
A good stand will provide a solid mount for your speaker(s) and provide isolation from the floor and to reduce vibrations. They also help to get the speaker at the right listening height for optimum performance. The same applies for wall mounts.
