    VM6 vs FPM2 as rear surround speakers

    I'm looking into purchasing surround wall mounted speakers to complement my N804's and NHTM2 speakers. I'm not interested in investing into the SMCS rear speakers. My system will only be a 5.1 set-up . I checked the internet and from what I saw both models are approx. $450 each.

    I will be relocating to the states. My equipment will be purchased new and will be simplified. A Dolby Digital 5.1 receiver, an oppo universal player, and a emotiva XPA-5 amp. Subwoofer will be purchased later.

    If the price of the VM6 and the FPM2 are similiar, which one would you choose. I have not heard either and have not had the opportunity nor time to look into this, due to travel obligations.

    I appreciate comments from anyone with experience with these two different models.

    Get the VM6. It's much better than the FPM2. The VM6 uses the same drivers as the CM1 and is a much newer design. The VM6 is only available in black so as long as the color is OK get the VM6.

        No, it's black only. That is according to the last price list I have (dated July of this year) and B&W's website.

                Thanks for the advice concerning the wall mount speakers. As soon as I get a chance I will be searching for a dealer who has them available in the Detroit area for auditioning.
                Appreciate the replies and recommendations.
                Thanks,
                Tschuss Joe
