I have a question regarding the two above speakers. I currently own a Denon 2312 receiver, two Definitive Technology SM55s, and an Outlaw LFM-1 Plus (no amplifier). I have bi-amped my SM55s for a theoretical 210 watts. My rears would only have the 105 watts per channel allocated to them (no amplifier) from the receiver. Would I be better off with the 8040 surrounds or would the 8080 surrounds prove better even if they are underpowered (not at their full potential of 200 watts)? Both have 92dB sensitivity. I tried searching for a similar thread but couldn't find a precise comparison. This is a significant investment for me so ironing out these questions is essential. Again, apologies for duplicating any previously posed question. Feedback is much appreciated!

Surround speakers (for movies) don't even need 50 WPC. So either one of those speakers will work
