I would say any speaker that is returnable for a reasonable amount of time. You must be willing to lug the speakers back to the store or to a shipping center, and possibly pay return shipping and/or a restocking fee. FWIW, I bought my current speakers, Ohm Walsh 2000s, without hearing them first. I based my decision on carefully reading the lengthy thread on Ohm speakers here on the 'gon. As I read, owner's descriptions kept pushing all of the right buttons for me. So, with Ohm's 120 day return option, I took a chance. Plus, since I don't live too far from Ohm's Brooklyn, NY, headquarters, if I wanted to return, I could bring them back by car.
That was in late 2009. Once they broke in, I fell in love. Still have them, and have never had a desire to upgrade. To do better, at least IMHO, I would have to spend way more than I could possibly afford. Plus, over the last dozen years, they have responded quite well to upgraded electronics, tweeks, and cable upgrades. Life is good. Having more time to listen would make it even better.
