KEF LS50 or Gallo Strada Reference 2 for small room?

Or for those places with generous return policies. I can see somebody doing it for a 10% or lower restocking fee. In that way, you've essentially "rented" the speaker for a month to see if it works in your own system. Because there are so few local dealers for many brands, it makes sense.

 

Sure, if a manufacturer or dealer offers a trial period with a fair restocking fee, it is a good deal.

 

An update--I found a deal on Gallo Strada Reference 2's that was too good to pass up. The imaging and realism with vocals with these are amazing! I might pick up a pair of LS50's at some point, but right now I am thoroughly enjoying the Gallos!
