    CM9's , what surround speakers you guys using?

    What's up people?
    If you take a look at the CM line for theater , you will notice they don't offer a perfectly matched on wall surround option. Having just bookshelf speakers for surrounds is not a good choice for many many many rooms including mine. I'm looking for an on wall option.

    My needs are music first then surround for movies. I also prefer a direct firing speaker. Bi polar speakers can work if they are highly musical.

    I'm wondering what everyone is using for surround speakers and tried something from another series?

    I use a pair of B&W DS3 mounted on my wall with my CM9 - CMC2 setup. I've been very happy with the DS3 and really like the fact you can run them in mono or di mode. Granted I don't listen to a ton of surround sound music so the speakers typically stay in dipole mode.

      Also look at the VM-6 from b&w that you can compare to a CM-1.

        I got to try the B&W M1 satellite speakers and they sounded pretty good for what they were.

          Thin surround speaker for wall mounting?
          by snmhanson
          I would like to build a pair or two of surround speakers to go with my Statement Monitor/2RCC front stage. I want something that can be wall mounted and not protrude into the room significantly. I may also design a sort of post that they could be mounted on so that I could pivot them once mounted...

          VM6 vs FPM2 as rear surround speakers
          by goe2112
          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...
