Hi Images,
I know I probably sound silly saying this because I have ordered Salk Sound HT2's without hearing them but do you have an opportunity to listen to a pair before you buy them?
I live overseas and its impossible to listen to a pair prior to purchasing them. A local manufacturer could build something similiar but it would take over 12 months to get them delivered.
Dennis Murphy & Jim Salk have a very good reputation in the industry and combined with the quality drivers that are used in the speakers I've decided to take a risk in buying them.
Good luck with your decision.
Regards
Rod
