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.

@wolf_garcia.....I've heard the Razz on a few different occasions and honestly, I don't get their sound. Not for me either....

You don’t give any info on your setup and price limits. 
 

there are many speaker brands that will reliably sound good but your room and equipment might not be optimal for them. 
 

Well known high end brands such as KEF, Magnepan, Quad, B&W, Focal, etc

are very reliable for great sound but each has its flavor of sound and differing room requirements. 
 

you won’t go wrong with any of these assuming you can give them the space they need.
