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.

When I buy speakers, I look for the following.

Extended and smooth highs

Extreme clarity in the midrange

Tight bass

 

 

 


 

Clarity and tight bass. Would also be nice,

If it had center synergy with my existing amp.
