What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first?

@ozzy yes the Clarisys Minuet were fantastic when I heard them at this years Axpona. There were only 2 speakers that I was considering from listening to 80% of the rooms at Axpona, the Clarisys Minuet or the Franco Serblin Ktema's. (OK there was a 3rd...the Borresen M6 at just under $300,000 although I'd be homelss if I bought them not to mention 7 inches shorter!!!!) I did go with the Ktema's and after 8 days of non-stop playing they are sounding WONDERFUL. I'm thrilled and hope you are as well. Keep us informed on your thoughts.

If you read the latest on Positive Feedback, there is a recent review about the Clarisys Minute speakers. Those are the exact speakers I am getting! So, they should be broken in when I get them. 

I just hope the reviewer hasn't wore them out...

Lots of speakers are bought this way. dealers can’t buy the speakers first and then resell them to you before you agree to buy them.

Most people buy speakers then upgrade. Not really possible to tell what speakers will sound like unless they're in your home

Rarely do dealers let you take speakers and try them out, not practical and they don’t have them in their show rooms.

Lots of people are buying on faith

I just placed a review of the Clarisys Minuet speakers in the Members Review Forum section.

Yeah, great table.

I was going to suggest Kharma speakers but apparently it's too late.
