It really depends what the OP can do in this room. I think the 8Ks would be far too much speaker for his room considering its size and that the speakers will be tucked in the corners. Even with the boundary setting set to "corner" and bass tone control set to -5.0, he will have substantially more bass than mids and highs without acoustical treatment and room correction. I would hate to see him get his hopes up for the ultimate speaker only to find that he doesn't have the flexibility to make them work in his room. Now, if he can pull them out of the corner, he could certainly get 8Ks setup where they throw an incredible center image in stereo and tame the bass.
