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.

I prefer to buy in a store where I can listen to the speakers first and then take them home for another listen. The last ones I bought was actually used nut sold from the store with guarantee. I could even bring my amp to the store to check that they worked together. 

So, see if you have stores around you and what speakers they have. That is my advice.
