I settled this issue for myself. I won't listen to a set of 300s or anything that that I can afford which should be higher or equal on the sound quality chain. I have heard some things at hi end stores...need a roof over my head more
I settled on the TI series and all that is left is to get the best out of them
an on going issue. now back to reading about bass traps,connecting my newest additions(aquaplased tweeters and big amp),
I also had HT in mind w/a higher mounted plasma, the 250 tweeters are the same height as the center tweeters under the tv.
Best of luck w/your decision. it really is a difficult choice
I'll offer the 1st grand for the 250's, make great rear surrounds
