Crutchfield's Speaker Compare


Hey everyone, for those in the market for new speakers, Crutchfield now has something called "Speaker compare", in which you can select up to 4 speakers and make sound comparisons online using your computer and a pair of headphones. Although not all the speakers models are available for audition at the moment, a lot are, and I think it’s a great alternative for those (like me) who cannot audition speakers in person. You can compare several songs at the same volume or at the same wattage. I am not associated with Crutchfield at all. I think it’s a great tool and a good start!
Cheers y’all!

The only way this could be useful is if the Crutchfield sound reproduction is a perfect representation of the speaker itself.
This is about as likely as Vladimir Putin giving up power in Russia.
And if it were so, why buy the speakers, save the money and listen to the Crutchfield.

This speaks nothing of the truth of listening in your room on your system.
Try speakers in your room.  Dealer margins allow for the costs of doing this and good dealers expect it.
