Invest in one of these:Hi, I am planning to upgrade the L/C/R in my setup. Currently running SP-EBS73-LR (L/R) with SP-EC73 as center. I have ordered several pairs (Elac UB5, KEF Q150, KEF LS50, Q Acoustics Concept 20) and I am trying to do a fair comparison. I looking for a proper way to do the test including level matching with a pink noise tone and disabling the DSP of the receiver (Direct Mode). My receiver is a Marantz 7009. What would be the best practice?
A) Speakers A/B?
B) Speakers in Zone2?
C) Other solutions
A) I don't know how to do the level matching for speakers A and B in my receiver. I don't think is possible. So turning the volume up and down accordingly when speakers are switched is not very accurate.
B) I think this one is the best option. Independent volumes control for speakers connected to Main/Zone 2. Setting Main Zone in Direct Mode (No DSP) and Zone 2 doesn't do DSP so is Direct Mode by default.
Speakers Tested/Testing:
