the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data?
@jchiappinelli  I am puzzled about #2. I always read here: speaker x is good for Jazz or Classical. Then someone else says: a good speaker plays ALL types of music well

thank you all, I am learning a lot. I was looking for key quantifiable data that would give me a decision tree - aside from price. I think for a novice like me it has to be a trade off between accuracy and warmth and brightness and listening fati...

Storage boxes. Can I discard high end shipping boxes, and still sell in the future?
keep the foam. With the flattened boxes, you’d still save half the space. The biggest reason to keep the boxes is to be able to safely ship them then or take the pieces with you when you move. But of course, I would not keep the boxes for cheaper ...

@knotscott @rpeluso so that means you need to demo it at home or at the dealer? Do you narrow down your list based on something(s) for what you would demo?
