Top 10 Best Speakers Of 2025
Some Of The Top 10 Best Speakers Of 2025, Listed From Cheapest To Most Expensive
One could argue that the reset for any “best of” list starts at the beginning of the year. But with so many new product releases that take place at the big Chicago-based audio show AXPONA, it might make more sense to earmark early April at the true beginning of the HiFi cycle. This year was no different, you can find all our highlights from the 2025 event here. However, you can also find a breakout of all the best speakers from the pre-AXPONA era on last week’s The Occasional Podcast.
Marc and Brian from pt.AUDIO’s audio-centric podcast break down all the best sounds from the year in this easy listen from our partner site. The list expands from cheapest to more expensive and has some really good options for almost any budget.
The Occasional Podcast recently discussed the future of the CD, the idea that the term “Yacht Rock” might be offensive to some, interviewed Stereophile’s Michael Trei, covered the Florida Audio Expo 2025, The Best Vintage Amplifiers To Buy At A Garage Sale, interviewed Jason Stoddard of Schiit Audio, and covered the future of digital and class D with Michal Jurewicz of Mytek and High End Munich 2024, but previous episodes include how tos, tips, tricks and education in all things high fidelity audio from episodes like last week’s Hot Headphones For The Holidays, an Interview With John Devore, Measurements explained with Andrew Jones, 3 things to know about streaming audio, 5 things to consider when buying a tube amplifier, interviews with Steve Guttenberg, how to’s and more from audio’s greatest talents, including Michael Fremer, another interesting conversation about the History Of The BBC’s LS3/5a Loudspeaker, A Beginner’s Guide To Tube Amplifiers and A View From The Booth: Reference Systems, Accuracy & Why Audiophiles Love Jazz So Much: including rare interview with the late audio legend engineer Al Schmitt.
