The 8s sound very good in my studio. So I decided to use the 8s there and order the 10s on Monday. The footprint is still small and 8 lbs (each) lighter than the Mackies. After listening to the sound from the back of the room today, I'm happy with keeping them on the floor as a wedge configuration. By this time next week, I'll be able to report on the 10s live.
Another day, another very happy camper here
