the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data?

I am curious how the experts choose speakers when upgrading? What are the priorities, what would make you stretch your budget?

Based on e.g....

  • brand/company’s reputation
  • price
  • sensitivity
  • crossover frequency
  • compatibility with existing amp, etc.?

I don’t have buyer’s remorse for my last pair but I sure made some stupid choices until I got there, that I could have avoided if I had known about this forum sooner.

@kennyc not at all. It was good learning experience in many ways, and could have been synergy issues as far as the sound..

FYI - just found the MoFi Sourcepoint 8 which I’m guessing is cut from the same cloth as the Sourcepoint 10s:

@kennyc totally, the 10 would be too big for my room!

There’s lots of good speaker wisdom being shared in this discussion!

I’m curious though, is there any benefit to using vintage speakers other than nostalgia?
