I purchased a T9i for $750 and later, an S3 SHO for $1000, both new, from magnolia.
I’d take 2 T9i’s over a single S3 SHO.
The S3 SHO does seem to have quite a bit beefier driver. If you can do 2 S3 SHO’s that would be pretty sweet.
I’m currently using a T5i with great results in my small listening room. I will get at least 1 more if not 3 more eventually.
Rels subwoofer guide is very useful. You can easily get too much sub for small speakers. You won’t be able to properly integrate the sub if its too large for your mains. The S3 SHO with Totem Arros was a mess. Bass went from too quiet to overbearing with one click on the volume knob. Something to keep in mind!
Also, 4 T9i’s might be better than 2 S3 SHO’s
