in most cases, for most people, sonic memory is good enough, long enough... so that no switching device is required.
If you find that you can’t tell the differences between the two, unless you had a switcher for instantaneous switching, then they are close sounding to one another.... close enough that it’s in the ’six of one, half dozen of the other’ kind of category.
I submit that your ears, and recall... are very very likely to be good enough so that there is never any switcher required to get this sort of decision off the ground, after a few back-and-forths....
In many hundreds of speaker comparisons, I’ve never felt a need to arise for a switch-box. As 99.99% (of course that is an exact percentage! right...) of all ’different models and brands’ of speakers are so different, so obviously different, that no switcher could ever be of any fundamental use.
If I was tuning crossovers as a comparison to the original lab calibration sample speaker... THEN a switcher would be... quite possibly... critical. But then, burn in of the production sample vs the lab sample rears it’s head and you’ve got a difference and a mess again.
