Per the subject line, I am seeking advice from the inmates on upgrading my current pair of 3.6Rs by adding subwoofers or buying a pair of new 3.7Is or buying a pair of used 20.1s. Which would you recommend? Any and all input is appreciated!EDIT - Sorry, I should have included room size to begin with: it is 26' long, 18' wide with 8' ceilings. Thanks again, and please keep your suggestions coming!

- I own 3.6. I would never buy a sub, or 2. I WOULD maybe buy a pair of 20.7 though. - 3+4=5 14:45:56 12/24/16 (0)
