I hate to say it but I'm pretty sure your going to miss them, especially if you go to a small bookshelf and don't upgrade your sub.
The line available at BB was the the Synergy line and that may well have had more of the horn (horny?) character. I always thought that the Reference line sounded quite a bit better and more refined. Which is why I got what I did, I suppose. I certainly don't want to make a decision I regret making. Good point about the sub.
