What do you consider the most when choosing a pair of speakers?

Hi, just being curious here. 

When choosing a pair of speakers, do you consider design first? or the sound? or a particular brand? 

I want to say the sound matters the most for me, but my wife would never allow anything industrial looks or a design that goes against her taste regardless of the sound quality. 

What are your thought?

Sound.

I see you sell speakers. Lets see the spins or anechoic measurements. I notice they are absent from your website that right there is a big red flag for me.

Dynamics and coherence. And of course, good tone and timbre.

Many factors to consider. 
Most important being the sound - has to be the sound signature I’m looking for.

Room size, acoustic treatment, possible placement, synergy/compatibility with associated equipment and cables. Brand, resale value. Design is one of the last things but build and quality irrespective of design have to be top notch.
