CDM 9NT v. CDM 7NT

[gostan]

I currently have 7nt's for fronts and 1 nt's for rears. I have an opportunity to purchase either a pair of used 7nt's or 9nt's. I could then use the 1nt's in my second zone. My existing stereo-ht room is too small for 7.1, but I would then be ready for 7.1 in the future. The 7's have a nice laid back kind of sound and the 9's appear to be a little bit more up front in sound quality. Are the 9's worth the extra money (especially in a small room)?? If I saved a little more money instead of purchasing the 9's I could almost afford to trade my 7's and buy 804's. Upgradeitis strikes again. Any thoughts?

Cant remember who revied the 7NT and the 9NT but the consensue was that the 7NT was better musical.

I would get a 7NT rather than 9NT or just save for 804's.

I have a pair of 9NT's, I liked them way better than the 7NT's, but that's me. If you got the money get the 803's.

I have tested both in the store and 9's where cleaner and more natural sound
