Need help for my HT,looking to upgrade my speakers

Agreed, at least within family. Depending on budget for that room, used 704 or 703, cm7 or cm9, or maybe 683 (are noticeably better than 60X series). I DO NOT recommend 80X models with AV Receiver.

Yeah, well one theory had you buy speakers first and then work on matching rest of gear to the speakers. I am just dubious that the marantz will drive the 805's to their (and your) happy place. The cm1's may even be too much speaker for anything but the most powerful and accomplished AVR.

Tesseract86,

How do I put this. Previous generations of BW 800 series speakers are somewhat surgical tools and will ruthlessly expose even minor system weaknesses. 125 AVR watts do not equal 125 mid to hi fi stereo amplifier watts. At least the older version of the 805 is going to be much happier with the later (or more) vs the former. On the other hand, I have found the precurssor to the CM1, the BW 705 to be much more forgiving of lesser amps. Now I have heard AVR's that are really very good and the latest big Arcam could drive some very demanding Dynaudio Contours quite well. Is the Marantz sr7005 in the same league as the Arcam? I would look for some used 700 series or towards the new CM line unless another AVR upgrade is not to far down the road. I am completely open to correction on this point, but this is how I see it.

Tls49, I pretty much concur with everything in your post. I do believe the current CM1 is a different animal than the older model, with more recent trickle down from the 800 series. I really like the CM1, 5 and 7. I have not had a serious listen to the CM9 yet, but people I trust like it very much. I. Like the 685 too.
