So are you suggesting that I should just buy both and see which ones I like and return the ones I don’t!
The problem is having to pay return shipping can be several hundreds of dollars.
If you are located in the US, yes that’s what I suggest.
Return shipping on these is relatively cheap. Crutchfield is free on the Kef bookshelf speakers. $75 to return tower speakers.
Arendal has a liberal return policy.
Look into it. That’s the route I’d go. Better than making a sole decision on data alone. You’ve used the data to narrow it down. Now try them out in your space.
