B&W Leisure Monitors

I'm considering my first B&Ws and could use some guidence. I need to save space so am looking for a sub/sat combo. I listened to the LM1 sats and was very impressed with the sound quality for such a small speaker. I'm wondering if anyone has used these as fronts AND rears and has comments. I'm also wondering what the audible difference between the LM1 and the VM1 is since they appear to have the same guts (considering putting these up front). Anybody out there with either setup?

I split my time between music and movies, so I need a well rounded system. I would be pairing either of these up with the ASW-600 sub and most likely the LCR-3 for the center.

Thanks.

I wouldn't advise using a different center speaker with the LM/VM series.
I think the best setup with this series would be 5 VM1's, with a sub of your choice.
Or you can get 3 VM1's for the front + center channels, and add LM1's as rears if you prefer.
Or 4 LM1's and a VM1 as center, there are lots of possibilities.
Either way, don't mix an LCR3 with the VM series, it'll ruin the sound consistency.

Thanks for the response. The dealer I was working with didn't have any VM1s set upi for me to listen to. How much difference is there between the LM1 and the VM1?
