If your memory is bad (or even if it's not), the very best way, in my opinion, is listen to both components within your own system, in your own your own listening room. Some audio shops will let you take a product home for a short period before committing to a purchase, although those are becoming rare it seems. Cheap, but perhaps not so easy, especially with loudspeakers.Even you can't audition at home before purchasing, then make sure that you may return the units for a full refund after purchasing. Either way, you would be able to audition them in your own system at home. The problem then becomes the practical limitations of choosing only one or two components to so audition. Not cheap or easy, but that is how it goes.
If you want to be satisfied with your purchase for a good while, you really need to audition a component within your own system, within your own listening room. I've made expensive mistake by purchasing based on company reputation, or on the opinion of commercial reviewers. Trust what YOU hear, and what gives YOU musical enjoyment.
