Am I crazy to buy speakers without hearing them first?

Sometimes even when you listen beforehand, you take them home and they just don't sound right.

No, your not crazy!!! I've purchased my towers w/o listening to them first! I'm super happy with them now!
The way I see it, you can always replace the drivers and/or fix the cabinets! (touch up).

I'm assuming before you purchased, you had an idea of the sound signature of the RTi series though.

Unfortunately, no. At the time I really didn't know anything about 2-channel or for that matter the truth about many Bose products as I had a full 5.2 Bose setup (No ****ty cubes). So coming here was a big learning experience. Knowing what I know now, I would have never bought the A9's unless they were for a dedicated home theater area of sorts.

Sorry, I wanted to say you're.. not your. Feel like a dummy, after all it was late at night like it is now!! I still think it's not crazy buying speakers w/o listening to them first!! Again, sorry for any misspelling it's late at night! This is the only time I can read the forum.
