Free in-home testing?

Also judging sound at shows is for the
most part futile.

I somewhat disagree.  It’s true that it’s a hit and miss because of the room modes and possibly sub-par setups, but if you hear a sound you like seems the speaker should at least perform similarly at home provided that it’s supported by the audio chain and addressing room acoustics.  Magico and YG speakers usually sounded great to me but at the 2019 RMAF the Magicos only sounded meh.

@mlenow Focal 936

And I erred -- it was Martin Logan xti 60's that I got from Crutchfield.

@edlchiang Crutchfield charges 75 dollars to return SOME pairs of speakers. For large ones, like the Martin Logans, it was $10/speaker because it was going back with a different company because they were heavier.

What Voxativ should do , is to offer up a  piar of its drivers, to someone in the USA, who will organize a  free inhome testing, Each requested  demo has    no more than a  few days to ck out the driver, test it and ship back to Vox rep, 
Demo trial shipping  is paid by the requested party, 
And /or have 1 Vox rep in each major city offering a  inhome demo trial either at Rep's home or inquirer's home. 
The days of audio stores, /online blind ordering are over.

This is the only way a  foreign lab  with a  **strange**  concept  **off the beaten path design* is ever going to get accept with any degree of market share here in the USA. 
I admit there is a  one driver club out there in the USA, but its onlya  small niche, And most are DIYers pickking up used /old school single drivers, who will not spend $2k-$5k on a new school driver. 
Vox  needs to attemp to reach the new  generation of audiophiles comming into the market, who have never heard a  wide band driver. 

@hilde45, nice, I'm going to check out the Chora 826 soon
