It is frustrating because the sound of component systems is always specific to each user/upstream gear. For that reason, reviews don't help much. Whenever possible I try to buy with a return policy or borrow demo equipment from dealers. Best Buy is selling the CM8 and CM9 speakers and they have a very liveral return policy. Whatever you do, don't be in a hurry. Listen to as many of these speakers as your patience will allow.
I replaced my Rotel amp with a MD 208 and it completely changed the sound of my planar speakers. Now I'm thinking of upgrading them, CM8 with my B&W sub might just do the trick.
