B&W M-1 speakers- thoughts and experiences

I am installing a dedicated budget HT system in a small 8'x8' room. I am considering the B&W M-1 monitors (3 required - 1 center and left and right) and matching sub. The rears will come later. I will probably match these with a Denon on Onkyo receiver. Has anyone had experience with thsese monitors? I really like the size and look and would consider other brands in a simialr price range with similar size specs? I would prefer to purchase used regardless.
I have a dedicated active Linn system for 2 channel and love the sound but can't put out the cash for another Linn multi channel system
Thanks!!!

I'm a B&W fan myself but I heard from a biased person that NHT makes similar speakers and that they blow away the B&W's. You might have a listen if you can. He didn't say what the difference was nor the price. Good Luck Dan

Hi Ihave no idea which model the speakers are but they did look similar and didn't look expensive. If I get by the place again, I'll check and get back with you. the guy's name is John Ashman and he owns Audio Design in Albuquerque NM. I think he has a web site. Dan

Hi I,m back again. I looked it up and NHT sells the NHT L-5's for about $675. It didn't say if that was a pair or not. It just said MSRP. Dan
