The 804S would be beeter for HT only. There is no center channel that matches the 703. With the 804S you would use a HTM3S as a center.

I love my 703's for stereo, but like bvk said, no matching center if I wanted to go surround. Get the 704 or the 804S if you want to go HT. For HT only, the 704's could do the trick. But if you can budget 804S's with a sub and everything else, then go ahead.

Also depends on what electronics are going to be used (??)
