T7 more refined than the T2? Pretty fishy if you ask me?
What exactly does "more refined" sound like? Since they have the same HVFR Tweet, I'll bet they sound the same until you get to the bass. Then, the T2 has lower extension due to the built in subs.
My guess is that if someone thinks the T7 sounds better or "more refined", then they were probably hearing the T2 at a limited audition in a showroom and the bass knobs were turned up too high on the T2.
What do you want to do with a set of the GEs? If only 2 channel music, then get the T2. If movies, then get the T7 and a beefy sub, or splurge with the T2 and a beefy sub.
