Only 1 chance to get it right

My wife has agreed to let me build a custom in-wall entertainment center as long as it "looks good." In short, she prefers form over function.

That said, my room is acoustically bright with tile floors and big dimensions 21'L x 19'W x 15'Tall. I'm down to my final selection on speakers and am interest in B&W in the following configurations-

1. HTM62 center, 685 fronts, and ASW610 sub, or
2. HTM62 for LCR and ASW610 sub, or
3. I am also considering HTM61 for LCR and ASW610 sub, but I think my wife may be overwhelmed.
-My rear speakers are existing in-wall units.

I prefer choices 1 or 2 if it will fill my room with sound. I will be using this system for both home theater AND 2 channel music audio. What do you think?

Any and all comments are appreciated.

The attached PDF is a concept drawing for my cabinet maker and may help with your input. Should I consider different speaker locations? My viewing distance is 12'-14'.

Option 1
What are your existing in-wall speakers?

If the system is going to be used for TV and movies most of the time I'd get option 2 or 3. If you listen to a lot of two channel music then option 1.

Hi,

I use the 685/HTM62 combo with rear in-wall speakers. Very good.
