Above a certain price pont all speakers are good, yet there will be differences, and no matter how raving reviews are, your taste may differ.
Best alternative to a listening test at home would be to visit a HiFi show and audition as many speakers as possible there.
But then there still is room acoustics. There simply are too many brands / types, while it’s impossible to audition more than just a couple at home, if any. So, yes, there will always be a level of FOMO, just ask yourself if you can live with that. :)
