Hi -
I have decided to purchase a pair of 802's as my front speakers for a home theater system. I currently have 4 CM4's for my fronts & rears with the CMC as my center channel.
Since the 802's are putting a real dent in the wallet :P , I am considering using my CM4's for rears with the 802's up front. What do you think about this combo? Am I better off buying the pair of 805's to match best with the 802's or do the CM4's suffice?
I am really into my stereo channel music. Movies, in my opinion sound great with any equipment of this calliber....My concern is the rare 5 channel audio dvd or using my processors "sound enhancing" modes to fill all 5 channels with a stereo signal. Are the 805's better to match than CM4's?
Also, in regard to power handeling.....Can I use an amp rated at 200w/ch with 805's & CM4's? I know that the power handeling ratings for the 805's are 50w-150w as are the CM4's. Will this extra power hinder these speakers or make them sound even better? Is it advisable with B&W speakers to stick within the power rating specified?
Your opinions are greatly appreciated!
kind regards,
