Is switching from B&W 805S to B&W CM9 a good idea?

I have the nautilus 805s book shelf speakers. I like the look of the new B&W CM9's. Is it a good idea to switch to the CM9's or should I spend a tad bit more and go with the B&W Nautilus 804's. I am using a Rotel RSX-1057 A/V receiver. Thanks

The CM9s are very good for the money. Very high value. I use to own the CM7s and the CM9s are better in every way. With that said, they are very different than your 805s. If you love your 805s, you will find the CM9s quite a big adjustment. You should also have a big room for the CM9s or the bass will be overblown. The CM9s are more forward in the treble, and much more dynamic in the bass than the 805s.

The CM9s would be awesome for a system that is mostly home theater. Actually much better than the 805s in my opinion. They CM9s are far less reserved than the 805s which I think will really suit HT.
