Cserkin--Just to keep you confused I would say the opposite is true about these two brands (probably because I fried my cochleas playing rock in my youth!). The point is that these are very different sounding speakers and you really need to get them together to compare so that you can decide which one fits in best with your tastes. On the other hand, I do agree that planars may well be the way to go for you--I have Soundlabs and for now I plan on staying put! Good luck.
