Hi JohnK, actually I did not mean my suggestion of bringing an SPL meter to be tongue-in-cheek, I meant it literally. Sorry if my tone was unclear. Is that not a viable option? I'm trying to learn. And...I see what you mean (and what Alan and others in this thread meant) about the other bias of "name-branding" (my quote-not theirs) and affects of speaker position. I guess now I'll need to bring an SPL meter (not tongue-in-cheek) and a blind-fold (IS tongue-in-cheek ) and audition them ALL in my home (even MORE tongue-in-cheek ) Sounds like a fun afternoon to me!!!!

Seriously, thanks for the info, this is very informative.
