I'm not an acoustic wizard but 9x10x8 is a very small room. It's possible to calculate a room cutoff frequency below which the bass response is unreliable. Generally, the smaller the room, the higher this frequency.
So the HS80 might reproduce extended bass that makes it harder to mix in your room versus the HS50. My experience in a similar untreated room favored using near fields with small (6.5") woofers to keep the bass tight and more under control.
