What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first?


Hi everyone,

I’m in the midst of my speaker search and curious about something.......as noted above. There are some brands I would be interested in based on reputation, reviews, looks etc but may never be able to hear first.

I’m curious what the collective group thinks would be a safe choice having never heard them first. I know there are variables as in size of room, current gear etc. Just want to see what people would suggest. The one I would note based on what I have read is Joseph Audio. I’d also be curious if people would say the same about Borresen.

So it may be a frivolous exercise but I’ll ask the question anyway. Let me know your thoughts.

What’s your budget ?

MBL 101,   Marten Coltrane , Wilson watt Any of them ,

YG Acoustics , Magico , plus many more ,  your electronics, a front end , and cabling  all have a factor Synergy to all the above is important 

I owned a Audio store for a decade and nothing is a one size fits all 

if the front end electronics and cables are known then a speaker can 

be chosen to fit the buyers tastes.

Having owned a Audiostore I would ask ,what is your other equipment, room size 

and $$ budget  all 3 things count in building system synergy 

for example if you have a Sonus Faber which is a bit warmer, or Wilson 

 all tubes would be too much of a good thing in warmth.,

that’s just a example , and also what type of front end Thst too can be tubey warm sound if you had say a Lampizator.
