Sony 9000es vs. NS999ES


Has anyone been able to compare these two models and able to provide their experiences or opinions?
I'm trying to decide which to buy but can't find the 9000ES anywhere locally.
Thanks.

I think you should head over to www.audioasylum.com. They have done unthinkable numbers of threads on this topic, and searching their archives will lead to very thorough responses.
Musically, the 9000ES is superior in most areas, has superior build, transport, shielding. If you can do without the multichannel hype, it's a no-brainer.

Go back a couple of issues of Absolute sound and find the review of the NS999ES. There are many comparative notes between it and the 9000ES.

Cheers.
I checked that site but it's so littered with trash talk that it's hard to find any useful information, but thanks.
