When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you?

If you know the characteristics you’re looking for and you hear a pair of speakers at a dealer that exhibits those characteristics better than others with your music (and any of your electronics you can bring to the audition), you’re probably in good shape unless your room is a disaster — but that’s on you and not the speakers.  Short of auditioning at home that’s the best you can do and will minimize the chance for disappointment, but there are no guarantees — nature of the beast.  

If you go through this rigorous process and find “the” speakers that sound best to you and reject them on measurements alone I feel sorry for you.

Size is the single most important thing!

You’re definitely right about that. I see a lot of guys with high dollar systems, where they have way too big a speaker for the size of their room. It’s like the tuner who dials up more horsepower than a chassis can handle. That same chassis with less power can in many instances go around a race track faster.

I look at the measurements before I consider a speaker.

We listen if we can.

I don’t rely on specs, but weight is important. 
 

I’ve mentioned my,speakers enough in here. 
if they sound good, that’s all you need.

price, is another factor. 

i just look at the measurements.  all i need to know.  if they arent published no buy.
