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?

Any speaker could be equalized to achieve a response like the one in that graph. What is your point?

I thought you were out building brick speakers? 

Roy Allison (RIP) broke Kenjit’s heart, years ago, and he’s yet to recover from it.

Please, everyone, give him some space/time to heal.

I consider design first. I know I don’t like crossovers, so a crossover-less design would have my attention. I don’t care for big woofers because I am going to use multiple subs anyway.  Lastly, I don’t have a big room, so huge towers are out of the question.  Within these design parameters, I try to find the sound that pleases me.
