Replace B&W CDM2 with Aerial 5 for HT?

I'm going to split my current 2-ch/HT combo system into 2 separate systems. I'm running an Aerial CC-3 center speaker and have temporarily substituted B&W CDM-2 monitors as the main L/R speakers, replacing my Aerial 7bs for HT.

Has anyone compared the B&W's with the Aerial 5's? They're both about the same size, but the Aerial's are quite a bit more expensive. I'm thinking they might blend more seamlessly with the CC-3 center from the same manufacturer.

How dynamic are the model 5's, and can they handle high volume levels?

Thanks.
