    FPM5 or Signature 7NT

    I'm newbie on the board and to high quality audio in general.

    I'm trying to decide between using in-wall Signature 7NT's or FPM5's for my front L/R and center speakers. Its proving very difficult to demo both so I was hoping to get some opinions from the members here. Also, if in-wall is the better option what should be done for wall prep on a retro-fit installation?

    I need to use an on-wall or in-wall for space concerns and need to be under $800 per. Will be about 50/50 music/movies and driven by a Rotel RSX-1067. Surround will be B&W in-ceiling (again for space concerns).

    Any opinions or alternatives appreciated. Thanks.

      I have FPMs for my suround system and am very happy and impressed with them. You will have to budget in a sub, but other then the fact the FPMs down reach to low on their own you arent loosing any sound quality. They are considered to be a slightly better sound quality to the B&W 600 series.

          Thanks. What sub are you using with the FPM? Does it fill out the FPM nicely?

              Side and Rear speakers to match FPM's?
              by marius
              I just ordered 3 FPM5's for LCR speakers. I'd like to eventually upgrade my rear/side speakers to match the FPM's in the front, but my wife says that they need to be in white or silver. I could go for FPM2's but they seem a bit pricy (especially after going over-budget on the FPM5's).

              Just got FPM 4s for surounds
              by Nolan B
              No one ever posts about the FPM series, so thought I would in case someone is considering them or is curious. I am using FPMs for a full HT setup and went from 601 S3 to get there.

              I was using FPM 6s for my mains, a FPM 4 for the centre and had two 601s left from my last set up I was...

              FPM Home theater question

              We are installing our first home theater system and I am dealing with a spouse that is a designer (and opinionated!!). I have listened to various B&W speakers and like the sound. We are going to mount a 50" plasma over the fireplace (not too hot). I want to get floor speakers (probably 700...

              1. which one should i go for. price difference is not that great so should i just go for the 6's or is there a reason why 5's would be better?

              2. as they will be inline with sofa...
