What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first?

If you read the latest on Positive Feedback, there is a recent review about the Clarisys Minute speakers. Those are the exact speakers I am getting! So, they should be broken in when I get them. 

I just hope the reviewer hasn't wore them out...

I have the same problem. I am interested in some speakers that weigh 230lbs each, cost a lot (to me) and there are very few (1-2 dealers within the USA). There is no way to audition them at home. I may be able to audition them in a few months when the importer gets more, but I would have to take an expensive plane trip and there will be a $10,00 price increase looming if I wait.

Yikes!

I hear ya. The speakers I am interested in will weigh 500lbs total in the flight cases and I would need to take them down a flight of stairs.

If, the dealer would accept returns, (questionable) I would have to bring them back up the flight of stairs. (gulp) I am 70 with a bad knee... and a lazy son-in-law.

I think I am talking myself out of this endeavor.

Every speaker that I have bought without listening to them first ended up being sold. Either I was not satisfied with the sound or the appearance. Primarily because of the sound.

Check them out first!

Hopefully the speakers I just ordered. I can’t believe I have done this again. But based on reviews I just had to have them. And there was simply no way to hear them first.

In the past I have purchased several types of speakers without hearing them first, all were sold or traded in quickly. But hopefully these speakers will break that streak.

I just placed a review of the Clarisys Minuet speakers in the Members Review Forum section.

ghdprentice,

I ordered the Clarisys Minuet. Hopefully, I will have them soon. Maybe this week, but probably next week.

I really hope these sound as good as the reviews say, it was definitely a stretch for me financially. ozzy
