Tower speakers are a classic way to listen to music, whether it's at home, in a car, or at a party. Tower speakers are a speaker system that includes at least one speaker and at least one subwoofer. The speakers are usually mounted in a tower, while subwoofers can either be mounted beneath the speakers or in a separate speaker cabinet. Tower speakers are versatile, as they can be connected to a stereo or home theater system, and can play music, movies, and video games.

Our speaker experts have tested more than 20 tower speakers over the years, including models from Sony, Onkyo, Pioneer, and Yamaha. We evaluate performance, such as sound quality, loudness and bass response, as well as design, including style, materials, and extra features. We test the speakers for ease of use, such as setting up, connecting to a stereo or home theater system, and connecting to other devices. We also look at speaker features, such as Bluetooth connectivity, wired connectivity, and NFC connectivity. Here are the best tower speakers of 2022:

Definitive Technology BP9020 High-Performance Tower Speaker Integrated with 8 inch Powered Subwoofer- Pair

by Definitive Technology

Iconic and visually powerful design features machined, aircraft-grade aluminum construction

Definitive Technology's BP9020 tower speakers are as powerful as any we've tested, and they sound great, too. They have clear, detailed highs, warm midrange, and punchy, aggressive bass. The speakers are heavy, so you'll want to make sure you have enough arm strength to lift and place them. The integrated 8" subwoofer is powerful enough to fill a large room with bass, though it's not as detailed or controlled as some of the more powerful subwoofers we tested. The speakers are versatile, too: The low-frequency driver can be placed anywhere along the tower, and the speaker array can be placed in an upward or downward orientation. The speakers also feature bass and treble controls, so you can adjust the sound to your liking. The BP9020's sound is well-balanced, so it's ideal for listening to a variety of music genres. The speakers also have built-in Bluetooth connectivity, which allows them to connect to any audio device with a Bluetooth connection. The BP9020's sound quality is exceptional, and it has been praised by audiophiles and audio reviewers alike.

The DS18 Hydro NXL-XDT/BK is one of the most intense-sounding, weather-resistant wakeboard speaker systems we've ever tested. The speakers have a relatively large 4-ohm capacity, and while they won't pump out high-volume sounds, they are capable enough to handle loud volume levels. The speakers have an IP65 rating, which means they can withstand rain and direct sunlight. They also come with an integrated RGB LED light system, which you can use to change the color of the lights remotely using a free app. And because the speakers are waterproof and UV stable, you can use them outdoors without any problems. The speakers also feature a built-in woofer, which allows them to produce a more-realistic sound than other speakers. The speakers have 900 watts of peak power, so they can handle music at much higher levels than many other speakers. The speakers also have a 1.75-inch compression driver, which gives them a big, accurate sound. The speakers have a 6-ohm impedance, and you'll need an amplifier to power them. The speakers come with a pair of 4-ohm 300-watt rms speakers, but we recommend upgrading to 4-ohm 600-watt rms speakers, which will give you a deeper, fuller sound. The speakers also feature a built-in Bluetooth receiver, so you can use your phone to wirelessly stream music. The speakers have a 10-ft Bluetooth range, and you can use the included cable to connect them to an amplifier or powered speakers.

DS18 NXL-X8TP/WH Hydro 8

DS18 NXL-X8TP/WH Hydro 8" Marine Towers Speaker Integrated with RGB LED Lights High Performance

by DS18

NEVER STOP INNOVATING ATTITUDE - DS18 stands out from other brands with our progressive designs and unwavering commitment to delivering the most technologically up-to-date products on the market.

The DS18 NXL-X8TP/WH are a pair of extremely high-quality marine speakers that will deliver great sound both on boats and in homes. These speakers are capable of producing 375 watts (125 watts each) of peak power and 120 watts RMS, which is plenty for boats of all sizes. These speakers are IP65 rated which means they are waterproof up to 1.5 meters, so they are great for both boats and other outdoor environments. These speakers are capable of producing crystal clear sound, and their woofer radiators are 8 inches in diameter, which is much bigger than most budget boat speakers. These speakers are heavier than most boat speakers, weighing 10 pounds each, so they are much sturdier and less likely to vibrate out of place. The speakers have 4 ohm impedance, so they're compatible with both 4 ohm and 2 ohm amplifiers. The speakers also have an RGB LED lighting system, which is pretty cool, though it's not as bright as some other speakers. These speakers are very well built, but they do have a few issues. First, the mounting system is rigid, so these speakers don't bend as much when mounting on boats or other surfaces. Second, these speakers emit a lot of white noise. These speakers produce a lot of white noise, which is typically heard when the speaker is producing high volumes, but low volumes produce a lot of white noise as well. The speakers also don't sound as loud as some other speakers.

Wakeboard towers are arguably the most important accessory you can buy for your boat.

Fluance Signature HiFi 3-Way Floorstanding Tower Speakers with Dual 8

Fluance Signature HiFi 3-Way Floorstanding Tower Speakers with Dual Woofers 8" for 2-Channel Stereo Listening or Home Theater System

by Fluance

Powerful dual 8" woofers provide optimal linear movement resulting in a low frequency bass performance that is clean, deep and controlled

The Signature Series speakers from Fluance are high-end, high-quality speakers that sound great in both stereo and home theater applications. The Signature Series floorstanding speakers are well-made and feature attractive wood finishes. They sound great, with detailed, well-defined highs and mids, and tight, well-defined bass. The midrange is forward and powerful, and the highs are crisp and clear. These speakers were ideal for music, but they also have excellent range, so they're also great for home theater. We especially liked that these speakers come with dual 8" woofers that deliver deep, low bass. The subwoofers are powered, but they come bundled with a separate 8" passive subwoofer, so you can dial in the perfect amount of bass. The Signature Series speakers also have Bluetooth capability, so you can pair them with a smartphone, tablet, or computer, and play your favorite music. However, the Signature Series speakers aren't cheap; at $1,000 apiece, they're more expensive than most of the competition, but we think they're worth every penny.
