Gandalf said that not even Aragorn and Glorfindel together could stand against the nine Ringwraiths assembled under their fell chieftain. Glorfindel killed a Balrog, you do the math. And this is in the wilderness, far away from Mordor, without Sauron having possession of the One Ring. Gandalf said that if Sauron had regained the Ring, the Ringwraiths would have become much more powerful (scary to think what they were like back in the Second Age). In a fight between a Balrog and the nine Ringwraiths, my money's on the Ringwraiths.
