Well, those were some questions and since this is the correct location.....
Speakers are very subjective so hard to tell you what is "better". The Energy speaker line was discontinued quite a while ago so familiarity with Energy isn't widespread. You can look at specs/measurements (if you can find for both) and compare that way, or rely on inconsistent subjective opinions of others. Listening for yourself in your own room would be ideal. What other speakers have you used? Other than both being same price (and I assume available near you), can you give us some background on why you're asking particularly about these?
