Is it safe to A/B 2 different speakers using my int. amp's balance so I can compare?

Just got a pair of Rega RS1s and own some Focal 714s.  I have a SS integrated amp with mono that pumps 100/channel.

I'm bad with listening retention where I play a song using one pair of speakers, switch them out with the new pair, and recall differences between the 2.  Will I get a good representation of from each speaker if I connected the Rega to the LEFT and the Focal to the RIGHT channel and just toggle L-R between the two during a song?  I do realize I will lose the soundstage & imaging, but am interesting in hearing the musicality and tone of each.  The next question, and more important one, is this safe?  Thanks.

Rega is 90 db
Focal is 91 db

I did A/B as posted and do prefer the Rega though, yet it was louder.  I did NOT have it in Mono though.  I think I just need to train my ears and do as the wolf-man suggests.  Thanks for the replies.
