make sure your listening test are through and fair
Get music you know well
Get a variety of music: some good recordings, some bad as well as variety of music styles.
make sure the volume is the same loudness when moving from one to another because louder volume allways seems better (even to trained ears).
Make sure you listen ABA in other words the first speaker, the second the first one again. Do this AT LEAST once and more if possible on every piece of music.
Try and get in a longer session on both so you can tell if either of them give you fatige.
make sure you aren’t changing any components except the one your testing so the test is fair (preferably something near your system if you can’t do it in your house.
it helps if you are not rushed and can do the listening without pressure (in other words, send you wife out on a shopping spree. This will cost a couple of bucks, but it will be well worth the effort. You will listen comfortably and your wife will like you, and your hobby, better.
After you feel you have done your homework, buy what you like best regardless of name or price (within your budget of course).
happy listening,
cd
