i knew the 80.1 would be built better because it costs more, but i was thinking it would be overkill for a modest system. I'm not a teenager looking to impress, I just want solid bass for a reasonable price.
$ isn't the issue, but i don't want to spend it for features or power that I don't need. If the 80.1 is better even in non-competition settings, then it would be the choice.
