Crutchfield SpeakerCompare: Science or Snake Oil?

We discuss the SpeakerCompare that Crutchfield offers for their customers to do actual listening tests of loudspeakers online with a pair of headphones. We discuss if this is an accurate representation of how each speaker would sound in your room? We discuss if it will allow you to make a fair comparison and an informed purchasing decision.
