You listen to them before you buy them. Specs are BS mostly.
And IMO, Pioneer (which I know you are looking at) is a poor choice for audio equipment. Like Sony, they make great video equipment but generally mediocre audio gear (especially amps). I'd go with an Onkyo/Integra or Denon personally. In my case I'm using an Integra Pre/Pro and Parasound Power Amp.
