=== Which Speaker ===
Given a 4x12 or 2x12, it's important to listen up close to each speaker to find the sweetest one. Usually one will sound a bit better due to slight flaws in the cabinet wood, its construction, or defects in the speakers. This can be difficult, though, as it generally takes a bit of volume to tell, and sticking your ear in a blaring-loud speaker is a good way to damage your eardrum. Using earplugs dulls the sound, making it more difficult to tell the best speaker. My best advice is to not overdo it. Use earplugs, make your auditioning brief as possible, and don't push the volume as loud as you would when recording.
