Side by side auditions only matter in the right situation - like an quite enclosed room and using the same source material. While side by side in the right situation is ideal, you can still learn a lot by listening to speaker separately at different locations.

true and this is typically how i test. same source, same room, same everything, same song, movie clip, just different speakers. to try and pick apart the differences between the speakers. there is a nice place...its a bit away but they do private demos. quiet rooms....i'll have to check on what speakers they have. but they have at least 10 different front projection rooms, which is also a next purchase RS1 or VW40 or AE2000.
