Meant to mention, don't forget to register them with Magico.
Peter Mackay took the time to send a personal 'welcome' and some excellent advice on care, setup and cables after I got in touch. Very genuine.
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.

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. ozzy |
Oh, come on @ozzy .. don’t bait us like that. What did you order? |
@mtbiker29 as a fellow phan, love the whole vibe of the room, and those speakers definitely don't look too big! Congrats In the spirit of your original question, the only speakers I've ever bought unheard were the Dynaudio Heritage Specials (in thumbnail pic). I've had a pair of Contour 1.8ii for over 20 years and have been so happy I bought the HS almost out of appreciation for the brand. I absolutely love the way they sound and I'll never sell them. Listening to the Bakers dozen right now. Also looking forward to the free webcast this Friday and Saturday for the Spac flood relief shows! I have a Lytmi backlight system for my TV where I have the 1.8's paired with the Contour center. The backlighting makes home concert viewing amazing since you catch the light show in scale. I highly recommend LED's + music. The bedroom has a Govee setup. |
