I would suggest some of the youtube reviews by some of reviews with high traffic. Old timer story......In 1970 or so the only place you could buy stereo equipment at a discount was out of NY with ads in the back of Stereo Review. Being from a small town in Minnesota, mail order was your only option. I bought a pair of Altec Lancing Santana speakers, monsters with 15" woofers, walnut cabinets and slate tops, large end tables really. You had to tear out an order form, fill in your stuff, add up the cost, write a check and send it off to NY and then wait. I had them shipped by freight (only option) and my mother took me down to the local train depot and we picked them up in dad's truck. I think I paid under $400 for the pair with shipping. Ahhh, nostalgia!
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.
