What I was trying to say is comparing speaker brands in the same room, is much better than two different rooms with different dimensions, furniture, etc. If this guy is going from one house for the Mirage, and then a different house to listen to Axioms, the opinion doesn't really hold any water.
I've attended many shows in hotel/motel conference rooms where hundreds of seakers and amps (DIY and Brandnames) are fired up one by one from the same location so the listeners can check them out.
I've also held many auditions in my home where potential Axiom owners bring another brand of speaker they are auditioning to compare to my Axioms.
Most people get the idea and don't notice some minor reflection or diffraction.
