Have you heard them both or are you buying based on what you have read?

Between the two choices, I'd go for the TC20 and Xtra amp. The E2C is not that great.

It is very light. Why don't you go down to Jaben and check it out. In fact, the TC20 unamped would still sound better than the E2c.

I use the TC-20s for general listening unamped most of the time and I can safely say that I prefer the TC-20s over the E2c on any given day amped or unamped. :D

Just my 2 dollars worth.
People call me things like nuts, crazy and insane, I just tell them I am very serious when it comes to my hobbies.

What the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

The most important thing in this hobby, sit down with a nice drink and enjoy the music. =]

I had an E2C, the TC20 is in a much better league when compared to the E2C. The cable system for E2C was very bad.
