Monitor Audio GR60 vs B&W


I am looking to upgrade my speakers pretty soon. I have honed in on the Monitor Audio GR60 and B&W 804, 803, or 704. I have heard the GR60's which seem comparable to the B&W 704 but I have not heard 803's yet. Anyone have experience with the MA's or 803's? I will also likely get the matching center and surrounds at the same time. The application is 70% music/30% HT, Sunfire Ultimate Receiver. Any suggestions or input is greatly appreciated.

"There *is* a schoolof thought which holds that the GR10's are overkill for rear surrounds"

Well, yes, perhaps if you plan on mostly / only listening to home theater or 2 channel stereo on your setup. If you plan on multi-channel SACD / DVD-Audio listening, that may not be true. It just depends on what you use them for.
