Ok, so I have decided to go with B&W 803d as my mains. Trying to decide what center and surround speakers to pair with them for 7.1. For the back speakers i can only do In ceilings. For the surrounds i can only do in walls with limited space (also they would be not in optimal position either 5' above ears or pointing 3' in front of seating position). What would be better?
Also, It is hard for me to use the B&W surround line. The in ceiling speakers ccm816 work fine for my situation because I can angle. But B&W does not have in wall speakers which are similar. The closest that dealers have recommended would be the cwm 7.4 and it is hard for me to fit it because it needs a reservoir box (really needs 3' of vertical space in wall). Also if i did go with the cwm 7.4 and somehow got it to fit would it be better to use ccm 816 or ccm 7.4? ccm 7.4 cant be angled toward listening position but ccm 816 can be.
Also, I can use paradigm surround speakers which fit my situation much better. Paradigm Signature SIG-1.5R-30 for ceiling and SIG-1.5R which require less space to mount and would all be the same speaker on wall and ceiling. This would be the easiest for me. Cheaper and easier to install. But would it make sense sound wise?
Lastly, I can just toss the idea of 7.1 and just setup 5.1 with B&W ccm 816 for surrounds.
I really need some help with this as i only have a day or 2 to make my decision because I'm running conduit so my walls can be dry walled.
What do you think?
