first of all be wary of sales pitches,most hifi salesmen will tell you that what they have is the best thing scence instant gravy & when you get the gear home & it sounds like shit they say its the fault of your other gear,also keep in mind that the demo rooms at dealerships are setup to make even sony crap sound like gold ,my preference would be the b&k,i have never owned any b&k but i have owned anthem & sonic frontiers(same gear)& i thought they both sucked with my klipsch cornwalls.
