Stone: let me try a little different way to address your issues of hearing problems and not being able to audition various speakers.

It may be considerably more beneficial for you to focus on your receiver's characteristics rather than the sound of a particular speaker. Most receivers have a treble control and/or equalization that you can program. You could probably adjust your receiver to suit your listening desires and not worry about the speakers.

Just something to think about.
