And don't be suprised that the results show that nobody can agree on a
single speaker which sounds best.
Since tastes (and hearing abilities) vary so much, recommendations on a
good speaker system must be taken with a grain of salt.
Ditto on adjustment of TX audio. You are at the mercy of the subjective
individual(s) reporting back to you.
I've heard so many on the air sessions where one guy is playing with his
"audio".
The group agreed upon result would even be rejected by the landline
company as bad.

We see (or hear) what we believe we will see or hear.
It's what us humans do. And that's why so much effort is put into making
truly objective observations. That's very hard for humans to do, if we are
able to do so at all.

Amen. The whole purpose of the scientific method is to try to eliminate
scientists' subjectivity from their observations. The only way to tell
for sure if one speaker (for example) actually sounds better than
another is to do a double-blind test. Neither the person running the
test nor the subject knows which speaker is which until after the test
is over. Unfortunately it is often not trivial to design a test that
meets those conditions.
