Listen to one pair for a while (hours, over a few days, which ever you can get away with), and then do the same with the other pair…this is basically what pro reviewers do. If need be, take notes…one pair will likely make you feel better than the other.
Is it safe to A/B 2 different speakers using my int. amp's balance so I can compare?
Just got a pair of Rega RS1s and own some Focal 714s. I have a SS integrated amp with mono that pumps 100/channel.
I'm bad with listening retention where I play a song using one pair of speakers, switch them out with the new pair, and recall differences between the 2. Will I get a good representation of from each speaker if I connected the Rega to the LEFT and the Focal to the RIGHT channel and just toggle L-R between the two during a song? I do realize I will lose the soundstage & imaging, but am interesting in hearing the musicality and tone of each. The next question, and more important one, is this safe? Thanks.
