What are good ways of testing monitors when your looking to buy?
would burning a test tone to cd starting at 20hz and slowly moving up to 20kHz and then checking for variances in volume be a good thing?

Take your favorite CD's to the pro stores with your for comparison.

If you can hear the problems in the mix clearly, it's good monitors.
