Has anyone found a good way to listen to speakers on the used market before buying them?
Just about all of the local Audiogon sellers I have purchased from allowed me to audition before I bought.- And, this is the NYC area.B

I just found another composer I never knew existed:Woldemar Bargiel.It seems he was step brother to Clara Schumann. Wikipedia posts that they became close and Clara tried hard to get his music recognized.A little nepotism never hurts...Nevertheles...
