How do you judge soundstage amongst multiple sets of speakers?

I've dropped non-Axiom speakers right where my M100s are located. Imaging/soundstage was terrible. I moved them further back and closer together and although they were no M100s, the imaging vastly improved. So did bass.

How do you reconcile that in double-blind testing? You'd need to know where to place the equipment under test before-hand I suppose.
