I was planning on getting these, although I wanted to see the comparison first.
The "(intro pricing at $795/pair)", is 795 really an intro pricing? The e5ti intro of $400, then went to $500, still a great deal. If these go up to a higher non-intro price, it would not be that much less than MSRP, not that I'm doubting these are a great deal.
Also, I had planned to go with E5Bi surrounds to keep with the same brand,
Flyinace2000, why are you not considering those?
