Signal to Noise Ratio
Available Dynamic Range
Overall Distortion
Linearity of frequency response
Ability to deliver higher SPLs at lower frequencies without limiting
Channel seperationThese are objective, and easily verifiable. In fact, many others have.
Now on the other hand, if you want to talk argue subjective preference that's another matter entirely.
