It's all subjective. All of those components are top notch, neither are really "better" than the other, all are more than capable of excellent sound quality. It's hard to compare car audio speakers side by side anyway, each have their own requirements to get the best imaging and sound quality, and you definately can't compare them well in a room. By the time you get into these types of speakers, you are mainly choosing on tonality of either and the imaging it can provide, as all of them will have a flat frequency response when set up and EQ'd properly. At least I'd hope you forked out the $$$ to do that if you paid that much for a component system. I personally prefer the Dynaudio sets, the 240 Esotar will likely be the next I use.
