    What surround speakers should I get

    I've been using the B&W Rock Solid's which are probably not even B&W. One of then has a blown tweeter so I'd like to upgrade.

    I need something small. The DS3s seem a bit large. Anyone hear the M1s?

    Ideally I'd find something in-wall or very small like the M1s, I'd really like to stick with B&W though. Any recommendations?

    I use the M1's as my surrounds and they are doing an excellent job for my needs. When i built my HT system i decided to focus more on my front 3 and upgrade my surrounds last...but like i said, the M1's are doing such a good job, i haven't felt the need to upgrade. My front 3 are 803Di/HTM2Di and the logical surround pair are the $5k 805Di's, but since i'm more of a 2ch guy, i'm using the funds for a preamp upgrade. Sorry, i digress. If you have space constraints (the floor stands are a nice touch) and your criteria is 'excellent small B&W speakers' then i would highly recommend the M1's :T
    McIntosh C2300/MC302, NAD T785, Oppo 83se & 105, Squeezebox Touch, AppleTV, B&W 803Di/HTM2Di/M1, REL G1, Sony XBR9, PS3

      Well I need to get some bipole/dipole type surround speakers to replace my directional surrounds I was using before. Unfortunately I cannot afford the B&W DS3s I want ($850/pair) so I was looking at some other options.

      What I want is a speaker that works well with an 80Hz crossover...

      Integra DTR 40.1 - Zone 2
      by chuck21401
      I recently purchased an Integra DTR 40.1 receiver to replace my older Onkyo receiver. Before the Integra I had a TX-DS 939 and before that a TX-DS 747. The Integra is a great leap forward and sounds great.

      I am using the Integra in a home theater set up and have two outdoor speakers...
