So back to the original question - how do *you* demo speakers you haven't bought yet?


I do at least have a foolproof method of rejecting a speaker. If, on
first listen, it makes me go "wow", then I rule it out. Wow implies
that there is something going on that is going to get irritating very
quickly.


Absolutely. Especially if your first thought is "Wow, that sounds so clear!"
