I am looking to buy ether Boston VR3 or AXIOM M60v2 speakers and am not sure which one is the best? I play allot of CD's and listen to radio allot, these will be for my wife because she is a BIG Gospel Music listener. My biggest problem is which one is the very best for what I want it for. We listen to 60% Music and 40% TV. I really need your help on this so I get the best. I do not know the first thing about Speakers.
If you have data gathered from a useful suite of measurements, you can tell a great deal about speakers from what's in print. But that's probably not the case here, and even if it was, I think you're saying you're not technically inclined. Might be just as well, because you won't be listening to response charts. Have you listened to either of them? After hearing them, you might know right away which speaker you like best.
The trouble if you listen to them in the store is that they all sound alike and when you get them home you only have that one to listen too. So it would sound good even if it did not?
You're right, it's hard to tell in a store. But you can certainly rule out the ones that really sound bad.
