Thanks for the feed-back.

I revered the 5200's highly, but am being pursuaded to consider a larger loudspeaker pair which most assuredly will not fit the space.

In earnest -- and because my G91 configuration is a 5.1 theater set, I could get 5200's for this 5.1 room, and relocate my 7000's to the 2ch. Listening room paired with the 808i... If only they would fit. yipes, the room is small for 7k's.

Although the 2.5 way / 3 way / 4 way argument is well applied, I'll concede the 5200 fits the space best ergonomically. and quite a neat set it would be, but if sonics are lost on the melange of high zoot 808, with lessor 5200's then I may have some thinking/ re-listening to do.

I'll swear the 5200's had more precise texture steering and image than my 7's. I'll have to

Alas -- I have the 7k / 808i recipe to fall back on.

Cheers

P.S. (John K) I uploaded new firmware into my DSP 7k's and the principle change was overload protection on the midbass driver/s.

nothing else notable.
