the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data?


I am curious how the experts choose speakers when upgrading? What are the priorities, what would make you stretch your budget?

Based on e.g....

  • brand/company’s reputation
  • price
  • sensitivity
  • crossover frequency
  • compatibility with existing amp, etc.?

I don’t have buyer’s remorse for my last pair but I sure made some stupid choices until I got there, that I could have avoided if I had known about this forum sooner.

Sound, price, and does the company back their product, can I get parts and what is the overall customer service? Without the 3rd consideration covered...I don’t have the brand on my list.

There have been very popular and great sounding speaker companies that have come and gone.... in a decade or less. Not what I want. The reputation and longevity of a company means ALOT to me.
