Is the 840C as good as the Cyrus CD8SE... short but to the point

Tear Drop & all, I have placed the speakers further back about one foot infront of the wall, slight toe in and the differance is amazing - my bass is back. Thanks for your help in your earlier posts. My previous speakers were Monitor Audio BR5's which now a realise were 'boomy' and that was...
