I think that with electronics, it is pretty much
impossible to get it wrong if you buy on the figures,
*provided* that you understand what the figures are
telling you *and* that the published figures are
reliable.

Right - that's the same think we've been trying to explain to Keith and his
fellow loons for a dog's age.

Sadly, specs are rarely comprehensive, seldom
if ever give you the methodology under which they were
derived, and even with reputable manufacturers, are not
always met.

Totally agreed. Particularly true of consumer electronics.

When choosing electronics myself, I've chosen on
facilities, price and looks from products who's specs are
acceptable, and from manufacturers who's reputation is
sound.

Been there, done that and it also worked.

So far, they only problems I've had are with
things that are not part of the specification, like Jim's
DVD recorder with a loud fan. In my case it was a Sony
DVD/VCR combi player who's remote control was
incompatible with Sony's own learning remote system. I
bought the Sony DVD/VCR unit only because I assumed being
Sony, it would be compatible with Sony's remote. Silly
me!

Sony does some of the weirdest things, especially lately.

The only equipment I would listen to before buying would
be loudspeakers, and then only in my own room. Having
said that, I bought my current Meridian D5000s
sight-unseen, being familiar with Meridian's previous
loudspeakers, and I wasn't in any way disappointed.

I bought my last 4 sets of speakers either unheard, or heard and thought
they sounded pretty poor in the demo room.
