How do you prove that one speaker is better than another?

Does anybody know how it can be proven that one speaker is better than another? It is easy to show that one goes higher or lower in frequency or louder but what about the overall sound quality?

For example lets take a relatively cheap bookshelf speaker that costs $500. Now lets take a very expensive bookshelf speaker such as the KEF ref one or Wilson duettes, or TAD ME1. 

How can it be shown that these expensive speakers are better than the cheap speaker? 

I understand that you can just listen to it and claim its better but that is obviously not proof thats just an opinion.

As we all learned in college, very few things are proven, just strong supported or not.  I guess you mean what tangle measurement can one produce to support that a given speaker is better than another, with as little i harem you as possible.

rather than trying to provide this, I just search for the sound that suits my taste.  I will leave the proving to someone much more technical than me.
