I’ve seen this week, people are taking the lyrics of Kendrick Lamar’s GNX and really holding space with that, and feeling power in that. But whether you’re into DJ MUSTAAAAARRRRRRRRD! or the Wicked soundtrack, you’re not going to get really into it without good speakers. And that’s why you’ll be really into these home audio Black Friday deals at Amazon. I’ve personally tried many, maybe even most, of these picks on this page, and I particularly vouch for the featured four. But you should be really quick because these bangin’ deals won’t be defying gravity for long at these prices. Definitive Technology Dymension DM70 Tower Speaker with Bipolar Array & 10-inch Subwoofer – Each $1,199 (Was $1,599) See It Whether you’re just interested in two-channel or intend to build a surround sound system from discrete components, you want your front right and left channels to deliver a wide soundstage with excellent imaging. And that’s just what you’ll get from the Dymension tower speakers, which feature a unique bipolar array, meaning two 5.25-inch long-throw midrange drivers and a 1-inch aluminum oxide dome tweeter on each side. And the reflections of those rear-focused channels mean there’s enveloping energy throughout the room. Anchoring that immersion is the integrated powered 10-inch subwoofer and two passive radiators within each speaker. That’s a lot of muscularity rounding out pure musicality. So, if you love low-end, you’ll want to grab them at their lowest price during Amazon’s Black Friday sale. Just remember you need to purchase two. And while the subwoofers are powered—just add a convenient outlet, the tweeters still need speaker wire and an amp (you can see some options if you scroll to the bottom of the page). Once you’re all set up, however, believe me when I say that no one is saying “woof” to these woofers. Sonos Era 300 Dolby Atmos Smart Speaker – Each $359 (Was $399) See It Want the option to build out a wireless surround sound system but prefer to start with a single speaker that works in multiple dimensions (and in a multi-room scenario)? The Sonos Era 300 wowed us when we first tested it in 2023, and it continues to impress all these months later. The speaker decodes and natively plays back Dolby Atmos mixes from streaming services like Apple Music, Amazon Music, and TIDAL wirelessly from a single source (albeit through the use of the Sonos app). This feature comes courtesy of a six-driver array positioned forward and upward to offer greater depth. Keep an Era 300 in different rooms to enjoy songs throughout your home. Or, for even better stereo and Dolby Atmos performance, add a second Era 300 and pair the two together. And, if you end up ready to buy a Sonos Arc Ultra soundbar and set up your home theater, you can take two Era 300s and make them your rear channels. KEF LS50 Wireless II Powered Bookshelf Speakers – Pair $1,999 (Was $2,499) See It The KEF LS50 Wireless II at $500 off is the future-fi deal you don’t want to ignore. When someone tells me they’re more interested in getting wrapped up in their playlists than cords, I say skip the components and grab a pair of KEF’s compact but compelling speakers (and you can always add a sub later if you crave more low-end). With wireless support up to 24-bit/96 kHz audio (and network file support up to 24-bit/384 kHz), the LS50 Wireless II powered speakers give you access to unadulterated audio no matter your service or format(s) of choice. Stream music directly over Bluetooth, WiFi, AirPlay 2, and Google Chromecast (among others), or integrate digital and analog via wired connections, including HDMI eARC, Ethernet, coaxial and optical inputs, and 3.5mm aux-ins. Inside each speaker, custom amps deliver 280 watts of power to each woofer and 100 watts to each tweeter for big, clean, distortion-free sound at any volume. The LS50 Wireless II’s striking, copper-hued Uni-Q driver orients a 1-inch vented aluminum-dome tweeter in the acoustic center of a 5¼-inch magnesium-aluminum alloy woofer cone to create a wide listening sweet spot that’s detailed and dynamic. Available in multiple colorways, the LS50 Wireless II will brighten up your room and recordings. JBL Stage 2 L280F 2.5-way Dual 8-inch Floorstanding Loudspeaker – Each $449 (Was $599) Tony Ware See It Introduced in July 2024, the JBL Stage 2 loudspeaker lineup offers elevated entry-level for aspiring hi-fi and home theater enthusiasts. But affordable building blocks doesn’t mean boxy sound. Available in Latte (white) and Espresso (brown), the L280F speaker (the towers shown above) can anchor an Atmos setup or just offer powerful playback with nimble pacing, lively dynamics, and plentiful authority. A 1-inch anodized aluminum dome tweeter mounted in a next-generation HDI [High-Definition Imaging] Horn ensures a shockingly wide but still accurate soundstage, while two 8-inch drivers and rear-firing ports extend crowd-pleasing, hard-hitting bass down to 33Hz. And if you decide to add more Stage 2 components later, you can be sure they will be voice-matched for maximum clarity and minimum guesswork. If you want to start with spacious stereo and work your way to a more enveloping experience, the Stage 2 series offers far more than a soundbar can deliver (just remember to buy two). Of course, you still need optimized amplification, so JBL has also released complementary Modern Audio Receivers—including the MA510, MA710, and MA9100HP, depending on the channels and features you need (and all on sale).
