Matching speakers for Rosenut B&W CM-4s

[jayskumar]

Hi,

I bought a pair of Rosenut B&W CM-4s. I bought them because in auditions I felt they sounded better than the 603's and they looked a lot better. Speakers are furniture after all. I really like my spakers and now am ready to complete my home theatre system. However, since the CM series is discontinued I don't know what to do.

Should I sell my CM-4's and upgrade to the 700 series? Or should I try to buy second hand CM series speakers. There don't seem to be that many on the market. Is it okay to use different model speakers in the same system? If so, should I use my CM-4's as my rears or my fronts?

Thanks.
Jay.

Jay, congratulations on your purchase. When I did my research, everything pointed me to the 600 series because it was a better value, but when I auditioned them it was like night and day and the salesman predicted I would choose the CM 4's and I did purchase them with a CMC as a center channel and CM2's for the surrounds. I have had them for two years now and am extremely happy with them. But you always want to improve on what you have so Ive been looking into the 700 series but the only problem is that the center channel in the series supposedly doesn't match sound wise and the series is being replaced by the XT series.
So if I was you I would either try to find the matching CM series speakers used that you like so much or look into the XT series. I hope this helps
