Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts?

I almost always buy equipment without auditioning.  It is difficult and expensive to audition.  And I make pretty good decisions on equipment.  I rely very little on published reviews is one of my secrets of my success.

I just calculate what I will lose if I need to promptly resell.  Often with used equipment that number is 0.

I agree that liking what the Klipsch provides is probably a major factor in liking your system.  

Get the room right and get the setup right and you should be a happy camper. The room and the setup will affect the majority of how it sounds. Nice choices of equipment. Enjoy!

My experience is the opposite. Auditioning is relatively easy. What's expensive is not listening before purchase.

I guess I am going to learn a hard lesson.  Any thoughts on potential different speakers that could be placed close to a wall?
