      I am also considering ccm80 as my rear surrounds. For me, the 817 was not worth it because these are "just" surrounds. I do not place too much value on them. I am more of a stereo guy with some occasional HT. I think its overkill to use really expensive speakers as surrounds, unless you are listening to a multichannel cds. Just my opinion.

          Rotel 1056 for my CCM817's ?
          by ABSABS
          Hello All,

          I have installed my CCM817's L/C/R speakers and 50's in the back for surround. I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on matching these up with a Rotel 1056 receiver.
          The home theater store here recommended the 1056 to go with my 817's.

          Anyone willing...

          B&W CCM 817 family
          by mjt444
          I'm remodeling my family room and will need to use in ceiling surrounds. I am considering the B&W CCM 817 used. What speakers would be timbre matched with these? Does it even matter on in ceiling surrounds?

          I'm considering new 685s for L/R and the HTM62 for center. Or should...

          CCM818/817 instead of 805S for surrounds?
          by HedgeHog
          Hi folks,

          While I'm planning the order, it occurred to me that maybe I should consider nice in-ceiling speakers to fulfill the rear surround duties. My space is not that huge and the location for the rears isn't so ideal to have a bookshelf speaker on a stand.

          Anyone with...
