Good Bookshelf Speakers B & W, Dynaudio, Paradigm

I would get comments regarding selecting a good pair of bookshelf speakers. We haved own B & W P5s and then graduated to 804s but due to the new house I have to find a good pair of bookshelfs to replace the 804s.

The space will allow a speaker up to 15 inches high so that rules out the B&W 805 and 705. I am leaning toward the CM5s but would like to get input if it is worth finding a dealer for Dynaudio or Paradigm Signature Series. We will use them for listening to music but also part of a home theater setup.

Thanks in advance

Curt:

Are you planning on putting these speakers on a bookshelf or inside of a bookcase? If such is the case, stay away from speakers that are rear ported, like the Dynaudios. Instead look to front ported or sealed type speakers. I ultimately went with Spendor SA1's and it is working out OK. Supposedly, the new B&W series (685's) would accomodate shelf placement, as well.
