First off congrats on your speakers/how long a wait? As we have some W* bashers here, it's good none of that occured. Buying speakers from impressions at the dealer's may not always tell you all. There are so many variables---The usual: your equip.vs theirs/your room vs theirs. How much run-in time on each set?--I'm sure either of these speakers would/could make a lot of us happy and I'm sure you will be happy with your choice.
