    Upgrade from CDM9nt to 805S as rear surround speakers?

    Hey all

    OK, here is one i keep getting mixed opinions on,

    i am using my old CDM9nt's as rear surrounds, 803N for fronts,

    would changing to 805s as rear be an upgrade ?

    now, you think upgraditis is cured, but there is always something else.

    thanks in advance

    Kurt

      Kurtholz,

      I have moved your thread from Club Rotel to here as this is where the B&W expertise is you need.

      Re your question - IMO - Absolutely... I'd also seriously consider the SCMS speakers - same sound as the 805S but designed for easy surround placement...

          What height should be kept for rear surround sound speakers, specifically if I have to wall mount them and they are direct radiating speakers.

          by Mike82
          I have been thinking about a way to make some cheap rear surround speakers for my setup and was thinking this. Taking the Tang Band W4-1337SD and Dayton ND20FB-4 and crossing high. Zaph says the tweeter has good distortion performance above 3.5kHz You guys think with the right enclosure these would...
