Klipsch Cornwalls-not on your list, but worth a demo. Klipsch and McIntosh go very well together. Check out AudioKarma .org for the McIntosh forum. Five Cornwalls and two ten inch subs could be bought for less than a pair of 802D's and will have no problem filling your room with quality sound for music or movies.
B&W 800 vs McIntosh xls 360 vs Dyn Audio S5.4
I am starting to build my home theater/entertainment center and am looking for guidance for new speakers. The components I have purchased so far are a Denon AVP-A1HDC1 pre and Denon DVD 3800BDCI. The room is not a dedicated theater, is open and large. AMP's will probably be McIntosh MC402 and MC 207. Does anyone have any thoughts regarding using B&W 800 series speakers vs McIntosh xls 360 vs Dynaudio S5.4? I am looking for all-around speakers which are good for theater and can play music and even take a slight beating every once in a while for a good party. Please help!
