Both the 6.1's and the 5.2's are excellent speakers. In my opinion the 5.2's are far better then the 6.1's. I think that Benfmd might have heard the 5.2's either not broken in or not set up right. The 5.2's have more detail in both high and low end and throw a much bigger sound stage. Please do not get me wrong, the 6.1's have a nice sound stage and a lot of detail. But we are talking about two different animals. The 5.2's are quite a bit more money but well worth every penny. The 6.1's at there price point are UNBEATABLE. The best thing about both these speakers is that they have self powered subs (less work for your amps) and they can be adjusted for gain, lowpass, and have LFE inputs. In a nutshell they are very flexable!
