Proac 3.8 = Proac 50 Sig + Proac ER1 Sub?


I heard the ProAc 3.8 and loved the way it sounded so much like my current ProAc Tablette 50 Signature with the bass extension. I would love to get a pair of the ProAc 3.8 but I'm using it in a small room with serious space constraints.

So, the question is whether I should get a ProAc ER1 sub with the hope that the Tablette will blend effortlessly with it to get a 3.8-like sound. Will it?

However, the sub integration part scares me....

Comments and advice please.

I've owned 1sc's, Response 1.5's and now the 3.8's. I don't really think they sound very similar at all through the mids and highs. The 1sc's and 3.8's don't share the same tweeter or midbass so really I can't see how they could follow a "house" sound.
The 3.8's throw a HUGE soundstage with increadible bass but need quite a large room to sound their best. A room that I unfortunately am loosing :-(
Can I go back to a monitor and give up that top to bottom homogeneous sound? I doubt it...
Oops, sorry got a little off topic. I can't really see the sub and monitors giving you what the 3.8's will do as they dont' sound that much alike anyway. However you may still enjoy those monitors and sub, remember though that your smaller room may not be subwoofer friendly either...
