    It depends what a good price is. The DT is only a slightly higher-end speaker. If you're only using them for HT, I don't see the value in "upgrading," especially since they don't match your center. This one is all about what please your ears. Personally, I would stay with what you have. I've listened to music through both, and it was a toss-up. The DT is, IMO, a little prettier to look at.
