This page ranks 44 large size bookshelf speakers. Last updated on 07/22/2025. The large bookshelf class of speakers have woofers above 5.75”. This size class will have the deepest bass of all the bookshelf size speakers. Bigger woofers will have deeper bass but the speaker will generally be bigger and heavier. Note these are ranked to my own preferences which is a flat frequency response, good directivity, reasonable dynamics, good imaging and detail. Others may prioritize these traits differently.
If you don’t plan to put these on a desk or bookshelf, I’d highly recommend looking at Passive Floorstanding Speakers instead. These will have deeper bass and generally be a better all around speaker, although at a higher price.
Keep in mind that the law of diminishing returns applies and the extremely expensive speakers at the top are really just a little better than the more reasonably priced ones. I would not hesitate to recommend the majority of speakers on this page. Just note the ones that are not recommended.
Consider this page to be a work in progress and more speakers will be added.
