    Looking for more rear surround advice

    I'm still looking to add two rear speakers in a 5.1 system for movies. I currently have the CDM7NT's and matching center. I'm looking for any helpful advice on what rear speaker set up might give me the best sound for movies with my situation - which is, no rear wall. So, speakers would have to go in vaulted ceiling (11.5 ft high), or on side walls (7 - 8 ft high).

    The options I'm considering are:

    CCM80 or CCM65
    LM1
    CDM SNT

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    If you can fit the CDM SNT in, that would be what I would do. Otherwise, I would do the wall mount (in or on) versus the ceiling speakers. But any B&W should blend and sound quite good.

      If you are looking at mounting on a side wall have a look at the DS8 or th ein-wall version the CWM DS8. The can operate as either dipole's or regular speakers. I'm getting the in wall one's built in at the moment. I am using them because my sofa sits against the back wall so these will give me the best surround sound effect, they woul ddo a similar job for you mounted on a side wall I think. On B+W's website it specifically mentions them as being suitable for a side wall.

      I will be able to tell you more about them in about a month when my system is up and running.

        If I used the CDMSNT's I'm wondering if it matters that they would be about 4ft behind sitting position on side walls since the tweeter would then not aim toward listener exactly. Any opinion about this?

          by scanido
          Hello folks,

          Well it's almost that time of season again, time to get that yearly bonus and I was looking to get a set of rear speakers to 'complement' my set of 804S speakers.

          Recommendations for rear surround options
          by Unclejunebug
          I recently built some Swope MTM's (which I love) as main LR's for my home theater and I was originally planning on building the center and rear surrounds to round out the set. I'm still planning on the center but now, because of how my living room is setup, I'm wondering what the best course of action...

          Which rear speakers to use?
          by Boone38
          I have seen several posts on different ways to position and set up the rear speakers. Here is my delima. Just left the store after putting in an order on new 805s and the HTM4 (black). I already have a pair of CWM200 inwall rears that I was going to set up with the older 601s3. They are still in the...
