I fully agree withgoing to a place a listen.  Speakers for particular use 
must be first compared at the store then at home.   When I bought my stero 
a few years back, I was shcoked at the difference in the speakers with 
similar ratings.  I made the best tape that I could at a friends place 
(good system) then used that to test the various speakers at the stero 
shop.  Then took three home to try out where I wanted them.  The best in 
the shop didnot win.

SO as Malcolm stated, "HI thee hither to ye shoppe!".
