I was at a local dealer yesterday buying a Rotel RMB-1066 amp when I noticed a pair of Studio 40's in Light Cherry laminate (Mint condition). I casually asked how much they guy wanted for them. He said $400. After I picked my jaw up off the floor I walked out with a new amp and a pair of Studio 40's for $1,000!
Now the dillemma... I already have Studio 60's and a Studio CC up front. Very happy with those. I originally bought these 40's because I figured I could easily unload them for about $650-$700 on eBay. But now I am wondering whether I should use these as surrounds. Would that be overkill?? One other problem is that I'm not sure how I would mount these heavy suckers. Wall mounting isn't an option given their size and weight and I'm concerned about placing them on stands because I'd be concerned about my kids knocking them over.
So what would you guys do??? I'm thinking that Studio-ADP's are the ideal solution for my surrounds but it does'nt seem to make sense to pay $800 retail for those when I just got an incredible deal for speakers that cost $1,000 new.
