Realistically speaking, and most of us would agree, when one looks at any particular product's website, the people commenting, generally speaking, no matter what, have a preference for that particular product. The problem is, time and again, when I read a comment comparing a similar use product as these two, about it being "in another class" or "blowing it away", then you have to roll your eyes and understand that individual has their own agenda.
When you are talking about surround speakers and "ambient" sound I don't know how one possibly make that kind of judgment, even if you were capable of doing a "side by side" comparison!
Over the years, I have had a number of surround speakers and given what they are designed for, the large "perceived" differences, just don't exist.
