You're not going to get a pair of newish 8ks for much less... And with the 8ks shortly to receive apodizing upgrades, I reckon your only questions are: (1) Will the colour work, and (2) can you accomodate those side firing woofers? If the answer to both is yes, I don't think you need to think about it any more: DSP7200s at $20k are more than �10k.
