I have a new pair of bookshelf speakers on there way to our home. I'd like to compare them to the ones we have now.
Wondering if there is a prescribed way to go about this? We have a sub that will be part of the permanent system once a decision is made. Thanks for any feedback

Bass plays a large part in subjective preference, so you should integrate the subwoofer properly with both sets of speakers for comparison. You may prefer set A on their own over set B on their own, but may prefer set B with subwoofer integrated.
