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.
None can be ordered “safely”. Speakers are part of an audio chain whose job is to create “subjectively” pleasing music. I’ve spent years demoing the best speakers I could find, then tried to replicate the favored sound within my budget. If the OP is asking for the the best choice without trying, then maybe it’s a probability question aka maximizing the probability of success by choosing a popular seemingly universally appraised speaker. |
If I’m you I’d do all the research I can and then buy used as others have said. If they don’t work out you can sell and move on for little/no loss if you buy wisely. Also hard to see going wrong with Fritz if he offers a return policy. @phishhhhh4 I tried to get my band to play “Backwards Down the Number Line” that I think is great and would be fun to play, but they’re idiots who have their heads stuck in 70s - 80s rock. Very frustrating. |
