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.

My order of preference in deciding on speakers is

1) Sound

2) Price

3) brand/company’s reputation

4) compatibility with existing amp, etc.?

I do not care about:

  • sensitivity
  • crossover frequency

I have equipment that can handle the last 2 with ease.
