RE: Direct marketed speakers

Posted by jambalaya on July 30, 2012 at 15:24:20:
I'm new to this forum and have just spent $4000 on a pair of Spendor A6 which are not too much less than the Harbeth. I'm replacing a 20 year old pair of KEF's which weren't cheap but if I get another 20 years out of this pair I figure it's worth $200 a year.
I'll buy electronics direct from the manufacturer based on reviews but would never consider buying speakers without listening first. I drove five hours to audition after listening to several contenders locally. The shop I bought the Spendors from stocks inventory, keeps the lights on, provides outstanding service so I don't begrudge him making 40% on the speakers.
My two cents and I'm looking forward to browsing the forum but couldn't restrain myself from this comment.
