I pondered this exact same debate, 80s or 60s, my room is also not big. For that sized room I can't imagine wanting any more speaker than the 60s. I run mine, with a Yamaha 1500, 120 w.p.c. amp, and the 22s, QS8s, 150 when in HT mode, and it will flat out rock the place. I now have (3) subs, so that is a big part of it. I listen to music pretty darn loud at times, and the 60s play loud, clean. The 80s are 2" taller, with 1 additional 5-1/2 midrange, and 1 more 1" tweeter. but the woofers are identical, and the cabinet is almost the same. I am not knocking the 80s, they are a step up. I just think with that room the 60s would be MORE than enough. I was going with the 80s, and the "honesty" of Joe at Axiom convinced me the 60s fit my situation better.
