    5Ts + 8D in the small room vs. 6Ts (no sub)

    Hey there,

     

    I recently purchased a speaker set from Aperion (5Ts, 5C, 4Bs + 8D), and after testing them for couple of weeks, I must say I'm still astonished by their ability to reproduce sound - they are superb product, indeed!  After reading few posts on this forum, my appetite for delicacies grew even more, and I started considering the upgrade to 6T.  So here's my dilemma, and few questions arising from it:  I mostly appreciate the speakers when listening to music (aprox. 70% music / 30%  movies), so I'd definitively be willing to move up to 6Ts, but there are two things that stir my mind - limited space in the room, and (of course), the budget.  My room is about 11x16, and you can see here

    that it is tight by the shorter wall where the equipment is located, and I would say that 5Ts fit rather nicely.  Having much deeper 6Ts in there would necessitate positioning them even closer to the walls - would it adversely affect the acoustics?  And because of the budget, when upgrading, I would have to give up on the sub - how's the sound of 5T + 8D in smaller rooms compared to 6Ts with no sub?  Furthermore, how different the sound would be when comparing 6Ts alone against 6Ts + 8D?  

    I hope some of you will help with your knowledge and share some suggestions - all will be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks!
