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?

It may be a good idea to shop based on specs in your case, since you are looking at one specific spec in particular.

But that does not mean you should buy them based only on specs.

You could end up with a speaker that meets your criteria for that one spec, yet still sound bad in other areas.

Narrow your choices with specs, pic your purchase by what sounds best.
