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.

Back in the day I would have suggested William

F. Buckley.

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...

@mahgister, have you seen the documentary entitled Gore Vidal: The United States Of Amnesia? It's fantastic!

Yes indeed!

A great documentary..

Gore Vidal is more a genius than a mere talented writer or journalist...

He truly understood America... Almost nobody dont today...
