Help Choosing B&W Speakers


It is time to update my HT speakers. I have a fabulous B&W Nautilus HTM1 center that I will keep. I also have B&W SCM8 rears that are good but getting old and are bulky. My front speakers were 802s but I moved them to another HT room. I use a Velodyne HGS 12 subwoofer and a Pioneer Elite VSX-84TXSi Reciever to drive it all. For space reasons, I am considering using B&W SCMS wall mounts for my new front and rear speakers. Alternatively, I could try to fit Nautilus 803s or 804s as the front speakers and either keep the SCM8 rears or replace them with SCMS. Comments please?

Can anyone say clipping? Dangerous stuff, and those little teeny weeny power supplies in a receiver just don't cut it.
Your driving 802s with a Pioneer receiver????? Wow, talk about imbalance. Those speakers are deserving of so much more. I own that reciever and wouldn't dare to put it near my B&W's. Not up to the task, especially of an 802.
