So I was thinking about this this morning. If I have a pair of decent headphones that I'm very familiar with, can I take them to the store and use them to get a good sense of the differences of how recievers sound? In other words, does how a receiver sound though 'phones accurately reflect the way that it will sound through speakers? If so, this could be a great auditioning tool, although I guess just for two-channel music reproduction, since obviously you wouldn't have 5.1 on your ears.
