Studio 40s vs. Studio 20s

[-DLS-]

I was looking at the same 2 speakers to use as surrounds and ended up getting the 40's. The price for 20's was $675cdn and the 40's $999 with free J-23 stands which cost $420 alone so it was no question to me what was more worth it. It seems to me that your looking to use these as surrounds? If you are I would probably stick to the Monitor series though - maybe Mini Monitors or ADP-390's(for better HT experience like you mentioned) unless you plan to upgrade to Studios all around. If you go with the Studios as surrounds you will most likely want to match everything up once you hear them compared to the Monitor 11's.
