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.

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...

Lots of speakers are bought this way. dealers can’t buy the speakers first and then resell them to you before you agree to buy them.

Most people buy speakers then upgrade. Not really possible to tell what speakers will sound like unless they're in your home

Rarely do dealers let you take speakers and try them out, not practical and they don’t have them in their show rooms.

Lots of people are buying on faith

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

Yeah, great table.

I was going to suggest Kharma speakers but apparently it's too late.

Great job. I’m also a big fan of Magico.
