I just used Shazam to discover Slow Train (original) by Hans Theessink. https://shz.am/t56232280
One of my favorite singers and great fit to this speaker/room:

Excellent. Large room. Very dynamic.

This was a very large room.

I noticed the fancy sign right away...

What you saying? That you can't afford it???

Let me check...

No problem!

What am I saying? I just cut-and-pasted some factual information, I didn't add any negatory commentary or roll-eyes emoticons.

I've had that thought cross my mind.

I'd want to hear a pair first, I might not like them.

That's just silly -- hearing is too easily swayed by confirmation bias.

You should buy them based on the specs and graphs, then convince yourself over time that you like them. ;)

That worked for me. I bought, at considerable shipping and import tax, some Ascend Acoustics Sierra-2 and Horizon centre without hearing them, based on their display of measurements, the fact they had a ribbon tweeter and because of their small commercial footprint. I love them, and it only took a couple of weeks for them my brain to burn-in :)
