This fact makes it really difficult for stores to give good demos. Too many cones vibrating in response to the speakers you are trying to listen to.

I can tell the difference between when my subwoofer amp is off and when it is on. When it's on the amp has an iron grip on the driver. When it's off, the driver 'floats' and re-radiates more sound. I can also feel it with my fingers placed lightly on the subwoofer cone.

A simple fix is simply to short the inputs of the unused speakers. This doesn't eliminate the placement issues of working around lots of large reflective surfaces (enclosures) in the room but it does stop the woofer issue.
