Some people are more sensitive to L-R channel imbalance than others... Some speaker companies match their speakers veneers, others match their frequency response, others--apparently--do no matching at all.
FYI: I have owned four pairs of QUADs over the years, the best pair were balanced to within 0.5dB between 100Hz and 4000Hz, the worst were off by 2dB. To my ears 2dB channel imbalance is noticeable. I have owned 9 pairs of Magneplanars and they have typically measured within 1 dB over the same narrow range.
The SPL meters I mentioned above are not laboratory grade nor are they wideband. They are cheap and available and can help you debug a broken speaker component or better understand your setup.
Thread the meter onto a camera tripod to make more repeatable measurements. Compare near field and far field results to gauge the impact that your room and placement have on frequency response.
