B&W for upgrade system 5.1 --> 7.1

[style]

Hi,
little question,

I have a B&W703 for front, HTM7 center, CDM7 rear and 750sub.
Plasma Pioneer 507XD, Rotel RSP1068, RMB1075.

Upgrade:
RB1070 or RB1080 for the Main left/right
and rear back speaker:
i have see CM1 - 705 - eventuel dipol speakers?

What do you think?

I don't know about the CM1 or the 705.

But I can tell you my 703's sound super good on the RB1080....

I think the best upgrade might be getting something from the same line all the way around. If you can get some trade-in money, maybe even going to the 800S series and dipoles in back might end up being better for you in 5.1 than going to 7.1 with mismatched speakers...

I had 7.1 and scaled back to 5.1. I would recommend asking yourself if you really need it first. Maybe spend that money elsewhere in the system?

I agree. I would only go 7.1 if my room was gi-normous!

or if my budget was gi-normous (and i already had a separate 2 channel setup)

I also cut back from 7.1 to 5.1 but upgraded all the components.

Much better choice in my opinion.

hallo,

right, what do you write is correct, better a top 5.1 as 7.1 not "at the level"

Component upgrade bevor 7.1
that ok, but for my i can think a system RPS1068-RMB1075 and RB1080 sure better from RB1070. I don't need 5x200watt (RMB1095)
I think to buy a new DVD (Denon2930-3930 or Pioneer 989avi) : HD or BluRay
is early the have one definition system....

Speaker 5.1
better new front (ex. 804s - at first) dann change the center too? always B&W (the center B&W serie 8 i find to big!!
= 5.1 system 804s front left/right - center htm7 --> htm4s? - actually 703 from front to surround plus my sub 750 = better solution as 7.1 with actually speakers + CM1 or 705 ??

The RB1080 or RB1070 i can use for 2 channel stereo music..

I use the B&W XTC center with my 804 and its sounds pretty good. I found the HTM4S way too big for my needs (I am sure its sounds fantastic).
