Boy I am still conflicted. I was leaning away from the 800 due to its large upright size, but then discovered it can be ordered to be horizontal. I like the fact that the 800 can really pound out lower frequency. My room is not ideal, and may change in the next few years, so 2 500 would be better in that situation (I try to buy what would also work well fo me in the future). I guess one thing I have going for me is the lack of a financing department to have to contend with ... wink
