How to audition used speakers???

I'm looking for some nice used speakers for a second, very modest system. I'm looking, almost entirely, at used speakers, especially Spicas. I've bought equipment on Audiogon, but as far as speakers, I'm hesitant. How can I audition speakers that I want to buy used via eBay or Audiogon? Isn't buying speakers this way as good as rolling a die? I'm interested in these Spicas, but I've never heard them! Anyone have a pair that lives close to me (06830)?

Incidentally, what are good "classic" speakers?

$250 ?... get a pair of used NHT monitors. 40wpc will be adequate for small room. in small room you will get bass extension anyay so don't fret low end specs too much. nht is abundant and fininished in lacquer gloss look great. sound is crisp and punchy and generally neutral overall. easy to resell also. solid history of design and value and easy to locate parts.
