There’s some value to the specs and likely the Spendors will go lower. But if you can get the dealer to set up the speakers to approximate your listening room as much as possible it will help. Also, see if there’s a return policy just in case. Last, don’t forget that new speakers take some time to break in.
Buying Speakers Based on Specs
Hi,
Is it a good idea to buy a pair of speakers based on specification? Currently I have a pair of Paradigm Prestige 75F and I wish it had a little bit more bass. The frequency response is 44 Hz - 20 kHz.
I am eyeing the Spendor D7 which has a frequency response of 29Hz – 25kHz or the PMC Twenty5.24 with frequency resp. of 27Hz - 25kHz. Based on the specs, these 2 speakers should give me more bass response, right?
I know, I know....audition the speakers in my home. But the problem the dealers in my city does not have in-home trials.
Thoughts?
