... when you have two speakers of different strengths with little in the way of fault, do you look at the speaker as a whole? ...I don't understand the question. If you're buying the speaker "as a whole," don't you have to evaluate it as a whole? Buying part of one and part of another isn't really an option, is it? Unless, perhaps, you're considering kludging the two together, as HP did with the QRS-1D system. But that rarely works.
