I ask because this must be close to first reflection point off the floor and if so, it should have an impact on the sound presentation.
ghprentice gave you the best and frankly, the only advice to be acted upon.
What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first?
Hi everyone,
I’m in the midst of my speaker search and curious about something.......as noted above. There are some brands I would be interested in based on reputation, reviews, looks etc but may never be able to hear first.
I’m curious what the collective group thinks would be a safe choice having never heard them first. I know there are variables as in size of room, current gear etc. Just want to see what people would suggest. The one I would note based on what I have read is Joseph Audio. I’d also be curious if people would say the same about Borresen.
So it may be a frivolous exercise but I’ll ask the question anyway. Let me know your thoughts.

"looking at the upstairs system, this question is more for my downstairs." Yes, now I see. Didn't display 1 look. I'd fine tune room 1st. Those little black thingies probably aren't doing anything. Side walls/ceiling could be addressed for diffusion/damping issues and as mentioned-loose the table. Multiple subs needed for real low end performance. All that for serious audiophool fun. If you're gonna drop some serious cash with only reading reviews/forums, then buy from ae legit stablisment with a return policy, and don't complain about a restock/shipping charges. |
@stuartk - I dunno - some folks, like me, wouldn't want to deal with returning big floorstanding speakers, returns or no returns.. |
I hear ya. The speakers I am interested in will weigh 500lbs total in the flight cases and I would need to take them down a flight of stairs. If, the dealer would accept returns, (questionable) I would have to bring them back up the flight of stairs. (gulp) I am 70 with a bad knee... and a lazy son-in-law. I think I am talking myself out of this endeavor. ozzy |
