Using (2) F8's with this high performance satellite speaker that we are discussing will sound great, but it will not sound like the tower.
I think this means the tower would be preferred, sonically, right? If so, it sounds like the key reason this person did it was for some physical space integration benefits. That certainly was a factor for me with the Lunas. I'm still interested in what might be an ultimate satellite, crossed over at 80 Hz.
