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.

There’s lots of good speaker wisdom being shared in this discussion!

I’m curious though, is there any benefit to using vintage speakers other than nostalgia?

@ghdprentice That makes sense, the lack of bass is definitely something I've noticed with my Jensen bookshelf speakers.

I'd never heard of the Quad 57 before, there's definitely something kind of charming about that style and appearance though!
