Purchasing loudspeakers over the internet...a wise idea?
I've been reading about these speakers and was wondering if any fellow forum readers have ever bought them. Reviews, of course, were always positive...to varying degrees...and personal posts at various forums were more honest.
Bob Reina reviewed some Aperion 533-T's, http://stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/407ape
Build quality seems to vary greatley. Case material ranges from 1/2 inch MDF to 1 inch HDF. Crossover networks as well as speaker elements quality also covers a wide range.
99% of the reviews say these speakers sound great "for the price" but I wonder for how long will they sound good.
All have a return policy but...
Any readers have personal experience with these "direct from the manufacturer" loudspeakers?
Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!
Mike
