what speakers would you choose for a hometheater?

This a B&W only selection... so please no other manufactures... love them or not... this is the question.

say you are building a home theater... no two channel... already have it.

you need five speakers. fronts center and surround.

saying cost is a factor...otherwise i am sure i will get the... 800's all around or 802's all around.

not so much as i have a budget...but there has to be a cost vs. benefit here. going 800 or 802 all around can't be great cost vs. benefit as the rears get limited sound to them and they cost a bunch.

i will have a sub for the system, maybe two... but that is not in this question. as other electronics are not in question here... lets just assume i have a separates for the amp and all.

so, what would you get?

Yuk. I'd go smaller, use subwoofers, and do a 7.1 system. I'd never go back to 5.1. Assuming this is a mainly HT setup, you have the room (room for speaker placement, you don't need room to go 7.1) and are going 7.1, put all the all matching speakers at the same ear level. LCR close to the display and subs at different ends of the room.

At the 800 Diamond cost level I'd look elsewhere, but hey, you're the Boss.
