Additionally, I've read in a few places some users complain of a "narrow" sound stage with the 8cs. Can someone who has heard them comment on that? My Type 20s have a very luxuriously wide soundstage that I'm a fan of.
The 8c has a narrow and constant directivity pattern. This means less interaction with the side walls. The advantages are increased accuracy, a balance that is less room dependent and sharper phantom images.
Image sharpness and the amount of spaciousness are inversely proportional, you either get crisp imaging or a wide soundstage. It's up to you to decide which matters most and then choose a wide or narrow dispersion speaker.
