The problem with this approach is no one (except professionals) have properly treated rooms. There is no way anyone, on any equipment, can make any critical decisions about audio in an untreated room. Ok, I over exaggerate. But my point stands. Unless you've fully gone to town on room treatment, no one is going to be able to tell. The room will sound like ass even with a million dollar speaker system.

What you need to do is get those files, and send people down to a professional mix studio. Then AB them in there. Get people to sit in the sweet spot. Then you'll have a decent result.

Thing is, people have done this very test in professional listening spaces. And the results are always fascinating (and some people can tell!). In fact it's one of the most fun aspects of a professional facility! Audio shootouts!
