"Hi, I'm Charles with ATX Audio Video. Many people ask how to buy stereo speakers. There's a few things you should think about when purchasing stereo speakers. First, what type your looking for. There's floor standing speakers. There's bookshelf speakers which are typically smaller. And wall speakers which are actually mounted in the wall of your home and in ceiling speakers which are mounted in the ceiling of your home. Another factor to consider is the price of the speakers. Stereo speaker prices can vary greatly. From as low as fifty dollars a pair to as much as ten thousand dollars a pair. Another factor is the power handling of the speakers. You should look to see what the output of the receiver or amplifier you're connecting the speakers is and try to match that to the RMS watts the speakers are rated at. Lastly, where you purchase the speakers from. You can purchase them at a local retailer. You can purchase them online. Be forewarned before purchasing anything online make sure the dealer is an authorized dealer. Online resellers must be authorized dealers, if not your warranty may be voided by the manufacturer. You may also purchase them from custom installers in your local area."
