In-Home Speaker Review

Some companies will allow you to audition their speakers in your own home for an extended period of time to ensure you're making an informed decision. This is ideal. If this isn't a possibility, however, the next best thing would be to find someone near you who has already purchased speakers you are considering.

There are many online communities where you can meet other audiophiles near you to facilitate a good 'speaker tasting' event. Make sure to listen to familiar music and/ or movies to get a true sense of how the speakers sound.
