For movies with a good sub (yours certainly qualifies), I can't see much of a difference, if any. My LP is only eight feet from the speakers. The improvements in the SE's might be noticable in a larger area and a LP further from the speakers. That's strickly my guess. I'm not going to attempt to verify.Originally Posted by Zinje
I purchased the SE's for one reason. Both my wife and I normally enjoy listening to music w/o a sub. The SE's definitely go lower and w/o giving up all the things that we like about the Classics. If our main interest were movies, we might have had a tougher decision whether to keep the SE's. Music is our main interest and that is where the SE's shine. With a 2039+, the difference would be much less pronounced. Let us know your thoughts after you've had a chance to listen.
My Classics are going to someone with an SVS. Maybe I'll get an opportunity to listen.
