Who makes the loudest speakers and sound system?

Question

I want to buy the best and loudest sound system available, someone please help.

Answer 1

Best and loudest home theater? try JBL Sythesis. The prices start at $11,000 and go up from there. You'll also need a dedicated room and a few thousand dollars more for accessories and installation. The other guy that mentioned Krell is also on the right path. Krell makes the Master Reference Subwoofer that at 20Hz can hit 120dB. The only other subs that I know that can accomplish that feat are large, commercial units you might see at a large rock concert.

A little known fact: Audio Video systems can cost as little or as much as you can imagine. Just like some people drive a Kia and listen to Bose speakers, some people drive Ferraris and listen to Krell.

Answer 2

Well, do you want LOUD? Or do you want Quality? These two features are not mutually exclusive, as a good sound system can be painfully loud, but a LOUD system rarely sounds good.

If you want the MOST POWER, there really are only a few names that come to mind for amplification.
Krell (www.krellonline.com) Named for the creatures in the movie "Forbidden Planet" because they had "unlimited power"

McIntosh Labs (www.mcintoshlabs.com) NOT affiliated with Macintosh Computers in ANY WAY (and that's a good thing!)

Speakers?
Martin Logan (www.martinlogan.com) Start about $600 a piece and go up to well over $10000 each
Sonus Faber (www.sonusfaber.com) Start around $1000 and race toward $20,000 a piece.
Wilson (www.wilsonaudio.com) basically, I will just mention 1 pair of their speakers can cost over $130,000

None of these are TRULY Top of the Line companies either, but the prices of the even higher end companies are stratospheric!!!

Hope these help!

Answer 3

Loudest Surround Sound System

Answer 4

Ack, no Bose the others have been sold a bill of goods and they bought it, learn from their mistake and don't make it. Those in the business (home theater and stereo) and audiophiles avoid them like the plague, and I'm both.

Speakers that play really loud with reasonable sound quality and reasonable price (not cheap) have been mentioned, Cerwin Vega and Klipch for speakers, they are very efficient hence louder with less power. You could go for concert or club type speakers that are used for public events and concerts. There are many like Pevey.

Some of the others like Martin Logan, etc are very good (in fact very very good) but really expensive.

For amplification separate components, amp and pre amp, will get you more power than any receiver. Many times you can bi-amplify these speakers and run multiple amplifiers, ha! more power! Stick with a good name brand amp(s) like adcom and others with a high current capability. When it comes to amplifiers weight really does make a difference. If it says it can deliver 300 watts per channel then it should weigh 20 to 40 lbs. That means no Carver amps, good idea, great engineering, but when put to the test, (high volume dances) they just don't cut it for their rated power, clipping, over heating ect, I've been there.

Possibly. Most 5.1 systems have some kind of adjustment for the speakers to balance them. Your best bet is to get the manual from the LG website. If you do not know the model number you can find it on either the front of the receiver/dvd player part of the system, or on a small back plate near the serial number. I have included the link to the LG Support website below so you can get you manual and hopefully solve your sound problem. Be aware that rear speakers do not fire all the time and how often you hear them at all has much to do with the sound mix on your source material (dvds etc..) Hope that helps!

Answer 6

Bose is crap.

Depending on your budget you can go very high. Mcintosh (not the computer company) Makes a set of speakers that are $28000 a pair, however they can make your ears bleed easily.

Bay Audio is a good middle of the road setup, they will run you 1500 to 3000 a pair

PSB are also very good and offer several options as far as price from $250 a pair to $2000 a pair.

However the speakers are only part of the equation, amplification is far more important. Onkyo, NAD, or Mcintosh are the only way to go for quality and power.

NONE OF THIS EQUIPMENT WILL BE AVAILABLE AT NON SPECIALTY RETAILERS. BEST BUY WILL NOT HAVE IT. Check online for closest retailer.

Answer 7

Best and loudest do often conflict. The most efficient speakers that will play the loudest with a given power input often don't sound as good as speakers with a lower efficiency rating. There are exceptions... but most high-efficiency speakers with top-notch sound-quality are very expensive... It would help to know what's really more important to you... quality or quantity?... There's nothing wrong with a system built for "quantity"... lots of fun sometimes!!!

Also... The desired price-range is VERY important. The price range of audio equipment is so vast that I cannot be the least bit helpful in suggesting a system for you without knowing what you want to spend. The BEST stuff costs some SERIOUS money. Did you really mean BEST? Best for how much? Adcom, Parasound, NAD and Rotel make some very high-quality, beefy amps in the $1000.00 range. Bryston cost a little more. AudioSource makes some good budget amps. There are high-end amps costing many thousands of dollars. Pricey tube amps that are believed by many to sound the best. Yamaha and Harman Kardon make the best sounding, most reliable mass-market receivers IMO. Yamaha having an edge on reliability and HK having an edge on sound and current output of the built-in amplifiers. There are receivers by NAD, Rotel, Adcom... Pricier and probably worth it. Could probably get better results without springing for an external amp.

If you're serious about loud... You'd be better off going with a beefy separate amplifier for your main speakers. You could use a home theater preamp with outboard amplification for all channels, or even a home theater receiver with preamp outputs feeding a separate stereo amp for your mains. You could go stereo only with a preamp / amp. Do you want home theater surround sound capability? Another VERY important question you haven't answered.

I agree with some of the posters who said Cerwin Vega makes some of the loudest speakers out there with decent sound quality as well. Although... I could suggest many better sounding alternatives at a higher price-point, better sounding speakers not as loud at a similar price-point, and speakers at lower price points that could give them a run for their money. What you're looking to spend is VERY important here.

Dynaudio, PSB, Boston Acoustics, and Wharfedale make very nice speakers that are a great value compared to some higher-end stuff, but still not cheap. I like Cerwin Vega in a lower price range. The newest offerings from JBL sound decent, the larger models will play loudly, but they seem a bit overpriced. For dirt-cheap, I like the Sony SS-MF750H towers. Better sound than ever before available for $100.00 each (matching surround speakers cheap). Did VERY well against pricier models in Consumer Reports. Not extremely efficient on the down-side. Won't get unearthly loud even when driven at their max power handling capicity. Nice, balanced sound though. Not annoying like the sound from most cheap speakers...

The Cerwin Vega Classic Series CLS-215 http://www.cerwinvega.com/products/homeaudiovideo/index.html are a particularly interesting for a speaker that will play VERY loud. The price is pretty low considering... The sound-quality is quite good and there are simple crossover mods posted on the internet supposedly suggested by the designer of the speakers himself to soften the sound a bit for smaller rooms or to please audiophile types... Says it's the way he would have designed them, but brighter sounding speakers sound more detailed in the showroom and sell better. Making the speakers a little brighter sounding was demanded by Cerwin Vega. If you really want LOUD, can afford adequate amplification, and these are in the neighborhood of what you're willing to spend... Well worth looking into IMO. A pair of these hooked up to a beefy amplifier and turned up some will make anyone smile (or call the cops)... even audiophile types....

Buy these http://www.legacy-audio.com/2004/whisper.html , add around 500 watts of quality amplification per channel, a quality preamp and a source... You still won't have the loudest, best sounding system available... but it would be close enough and cost as much as some houses... LOL
