Please help me choose the right Ascend speakers.

Ok, now you guys are inside my head with those last couple posts... and it's kinda creepy.

Please stop it.

I might not have buyer's remorse.

On the contrary, I might say... "DAMN these 200's sound great. What a terrific bargain, and versatile placement options".

You need to have a little more faith in me.

OK, never mind... I need the CBM-170 SE's. I cannot live without them.

And I blame stevensctt and DougMac for their open display of psychological analysis on me, which has resulted in me being totally psyched out.

Bastards!

[DougMac]

Go with either the 200's or 170's, but realize you won't be really satisfied unless you buy Sierras!

You mean the Sierra-3 NrT Tower, right?

You guys are mean....but funny.

[Allen Zimmer]

I hate all of you.

Hey guys,

Would it be considered proper to ask how these speakers compare to a model from a competing brand?

In general I would not go into a forum for Brand-A asking about Brand-B, but in this case I'm down to making my final decision on my new system soon, and hoping somebody might have some experience with 'both' brands.

But I don't want to start any trouble.
