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.

Maybe and it is very straight forward.  Speakers are going to sound good or bad based on the room you are in and the equipment you have paired with it.  If you have no equipment and will build the system speakers first, any speaker can be ordered as it will be matched after.

if you have existing gear, the answer is a vehement no without knowing what gear you have. Then, maybe but you need to work with someone you know.  Joseph audio is neutral.  System match can be easy but I can show you horrible gear to match with it.  Borreson is relatively bright, especially compared to Raidho.  Horrible with certain gear.
