I currently have CM-7s as my front speakers with the corresponding CM center. I am looking for adequate rear speakers that won't break the bank. Any suggestions? Would the 685s or 686s work?

What's wrong with the CM5's or CM1's? I would think they would sound better with your front sound stage.Panasonic TC-P65VT30

I am sure the 685 or 686 will work fine. However, I would rather spend the money now to get the CM1 and be done with it. The expression "at this point in time" indicates that you may consider upgrading in the future. Upgrading, trading-in, or selling are all more expensive options than getting what you actually want right from the start.Originally posted by ipsterlComment

Considering purchase of two CM1s for R/L speakers for home theater. Wife has vetoed floor stands, so am wondering if placing the CM1s on bookshelves on either side of TV will be a problem? Any other ideas would be appreciated. Thx -
So my CM7s are almost 1 month old.
I am using a very nice Marantz AVR pushing these main and center.
The AVR is the SR7001 pushing 110wpc.
My CM7s are spec'd to handle up to 150wpc on the mains.
Am I underpowering these babies?

Hello all,
First post here; hopefully not my last. I currently own a bunch of old, mass market electronics and I'm looking to upgrade to something better. Basic plan of action:
