I've never owned a pair of speakers that I have not listened to before hand...do you guys trust and buy on opinion? If so, have you experienced any great "let down".
In my case, I've only bought one set of speakers from the internet and they were bought without hearing them first. Did a lot of reading and then took the plunge and very glad I did.
I bought my Magnepan MG12's unheard. I did a lot of reasearch before buying them. I had also listened to a pair of 1.5's before, so I knew what their house sound was.
Bought my Merlin VSM-MM speakers based on the kind responses on Audiogon and Audioasylum.Reading reviews and researching the subject.No chance of a audition.Also bought my Pathos Logos in the same manner.
Bought my Aerial 7B speakers after hearing a pair in a dealer's showroom. This was before I knew anything about system synergy and the importance of the associated equipment. Once I got them home, they didn't do it for me. The second pair of speakers I bought unheard and loved them immediately. They have continued to perform excetionally through several equipment rotations. They're Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III HSE.
I bought my Green Mountain Continuum 3s without auditioning the. Like others, I did loads of research and spoke to Roy who designs and builds them. They far exceeded my expectations.
