Go with the 8's......I use them with my Ascend 170's in a 13'x 18' room, with a 65w x 3 channels driven Outlaw 1050 receiver and they sound fantastic! I'm only sitting 5-6' from each one and have no problems with too much oomph!!

Also, the crossover is globally set at 80hz and the 8's sound great with that.
