Default How do you personally shop for Hi-Fi speakers?

So back to the original question - how do *you* demo speakers you
haven't bought yet?

FYI: The only commercially made speaker I ever bought were purchased without a demo.

There is not need to PERSONALLY to "demo" amplifiers, CD players or any piece of modern hi-fi electronics. And no point.

The idea that a novice ( or anyone) can TELL with a quick, uncontrolled listen which audio item is best is 100% ABSURD.

However, if you would like to own a *very* good pair of hi-fi AND monitor speakers - search out some Yamaha NS1000s.

If you say you cannot afford them, you are not really serious.

Go buy some ****-box, powered monitors made in China.
