B&W 683 Help and Advice Please!

[mkohman]

Hey All,

I currently have a B&W MT-30 package with the PV1 Sub which I am currently using with my Onkyo 608 amp and it sounds great... However I am always getting this feeling that I am missing out on something.. (i.e floor standing speakers are better right?)

Well I keep having this vision in my mind to sell the MT-30 and invest in a floor standing setup. Here is what I had in mind. Please tell me if I am mad and should keep the setup I already have or if I should go ahead and sell the MT-30 kit and go with this:

Front L & R : B&W 683 speakers
Centre: B&W HTM61 Centre Speaker
Rear Surround: B&W 684 speakers
Sub: B&W ASW610XP or ASW610

Now guys, here are the questiones :

1 - Is this an overkill? My room is 6.5 Metres long and 5 metres wide...

2 - Will the Onkyo 608 be able to cope or will I need to upgrade my amp also? I am using QED XT Evolution Speaker Cables

3 - Shall I just stick with the MT-30 kit and wait a few more years as I just really purchased the MT-30 ...

PS: I will be using the set up 95% for Blu-Ray Movies..

Please advise ..
