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.

My Dad just bought a pair of Sonus Faber Electa Amator III , the best stand mounts I have ever heard ....   still can't recommend them.  They sound incredible, but this hobby is one of personal taste so they probably aren't for everyone .

I agree with ghdprentice,  venture out and listen at a few different dealers.   So many great speakers out there at all price points

not that complicated

budget >

specs such as

sensitivity > doesn’t matter > list of best value speakers > looks > reviews

                   > does matter > list of best value speakers > looks > reviews

I have a database of 78 brands and 300 speaker models, that’s how I would run the query....

When you pick your new speakers by spec, you can invite your friends over to read the spec sheet.
