As the title suggest I am between a pair of 8030c's or 8040b's. Both sets are used and looking at about an extra $1000 to go for the 040's. These would be going in my main room doing double duty for tv/movies and music. I do have a sub, but its nothing special but would be something to fill out the bottom - although the gf would be happy to see it go. I did drag my 8020's into the main room to see if how they would sound.. and they did a surprisingly decent job, definitely lacked low end but had more oomph than i was expecting. So I *think* the 8030's could work, are smaller and cost a bit less.. but the 040's will pack a bit more punch in the lowend.. and the deal on them is pretty solid but are bigger.. thoughts?
my listening position will be ~ 18ft away
thanks!
