B&W CM 1 or CM 5 for Rear Speakers?

[joe1515]

I recently purchased B&W CM9's and the CMC2. I might also upgrade the rear speakers. Should I go with CM1 or CM5's? Are the CM5's overkill for rear channel speakers?

Thanks Joe

honestly i dont think you can be overkill lol. How big is your room and how far away from you will they be?

If you have the money i say get the CM5's as they are definately better than the CM1's, but then again the differences in them would be alot less noticeble since they would be used as rears.

The advantage of the CM5's would be a more seamless match with the CM9's and CMC2
