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.

I am with Verdantaudio. I have my room pretty much set and my gear is fine. Pretty much any speaker I buy, and 90 percent are not listened to first, sound great. I have found that monitors are my choice and have gone through many in the last few years. They are definitely easier to ship, move around and store. I currently have 4 pairs that I swap out to change things up. Synergy is key and finding what you love is part of the audio journey for me.

Maybe these guys were mentioned…or not

I would not hesitate to recommend Ascend Acoustic. Great speakers and even better customer service…not to mention one of the best bang for the buck in the industry.…and no, I am not affiliated with them in any way.

I love(d) William Buckley @jeffseight. I regularly watched his Firing Line TV show. And Christopher Hitchens. Two writers (and speakers) who couldn’t be more different from one another.

The debate Gore Vidal and William Buckley is to be listening to...

I like Vidal... 😊

I read some of his novels... Great mind...
