okay well that pretty much settles it then...looks like the overwhelming advice is to take the 228s and deal with any potential "this thing might be a little too big" problems.
@tvflem--I appreciate your POV. Saying you love the 208s kinda sealed the deal. If I'm going to drop this kind of $$$, I want something that is better than good. Side Q: how would you rate the integration between drivers on each model? I would think the mid-range will have a harder time integrating with the bass on the 228s given the larger woofer size.
@dweller, @roxy54, @cd318: thanks for your input as well!
