    It is obviously not the perfect solution, but it is not a bad one..

    I have run CM7 as rears with my 804s/HTM3s front end.. Sounded great..
    Main System:
    B&W 801D
    Emotiva USP-1 Pre-Amp
    Chord SPM-650 Stereo Amp
    Oppo BDP-105
    Squeezebox Touch


    Second System:
    B&W CM7
    Emotiva UMC-1
    Emotiva UPA-2
    Oppo BDP-83SE
    Grant Fidelity DAC-09

      what is the perfect solution?
      buying 803 to front and take 804 to the back?

        The perfect solution would be identical speakers at all 5 positions.

        But in your case, another set of 804S's for the rear channels is the best solution for matching the mains.


        Hope this helps.

          This would be pretty close to it!

          Try 804 Diamonds all around.

              Hi nimrodasas, I was in the same road like you but I finally went with the 805D, the sound is soo good that if you can save for them is the best choice.

                Yes.... This will sound awesome...

                Matching speakers, however, is generally the best.. Not always possible, but is best..

                  I can tell you that matching speakers all around IS best and produces awesome results!!.

                    I personally think the best 800 Diamond combo for HT is:

                    Mains - 803 Diamond
                    Center - HTM2 Diamond
                    Surrounds - 804 Diamonds

                    The x-over points, drivers, and aesthetics I think are well integrated with this set.

                      Thinking about buying the B&W Nautilus HTM 1, Could I use these as my fronts?
                      by jjahshik32
                      I own the B&W 805s as my fronts but thinking about using the B&W Nautilus HTM 1 as my center and fronts. Do you guys think that the B&W Nautilus HTM 1 will serve well as fronts and to put my 805s as rear? I hear that the B&W Nautilus HTM 1 sounds just the same as the 804. I guess...
