What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first?

MBL 101e mk2 would be my best guess at a speaker most liked and least disliked if heard based on many very positive reviews and live demos at audio shows.  Requires ample amplification.  

I don’t trust anybody else’s ears. They’re not attached to my head, and regardless of what any reviewer says in even the most comprehensive of reviews, that guy doesn’t know my room, my tastes, or my experience, and I’ve returned one too many speakers. My favorite speakers I've owned over the years have all been auditioned, and could have been returned. Here’s a recent thing: I was considering a pair of well regarded Volti Audio Razz speakers since I like horns, and they state on their site, "Volti Audio does not accept returns of product for any reason." That’s a direct lift from their site. Make a deposit and they keep the money...period. OK...Volti Audio will not be getting any of my money for any reason (maybe if they kidnap my grandson I’ll have to make an exception, but that seems unlikely). The designer/owner claims they get very little criticism and extremely few issues with their precious speakers, and warranty their speakers for AN ENTIRE YEAR. Yeah man...he also claims he’s there for his customers if issues arise. All true perhaps, but nope...no Razz for me!

Avoid speakers with huge bass output. Safer compliment with subs.

ATC speakers always do well.
