Need help choosing speakers to replace my B&W 606s

I currently have a 5.2 system that I mainly use as a home theater. I have a Yamaha RX-A1080 receiver, the B&W speakers with a center, and two SVS-2000 subs. I am looking to replace my 606s with something more impressive; more soundstage and clarity. I want to keep using my receiver; hence, I don't want something that is difficult to drive. My room size is 12' x 13'. lastly, my budget is up to $1500 but I am willing to build my own cabinets so I am mainly looking for kits at the moment. 

These are the speaker kits that I am choosing from at the moment:

Right now I am leaning towards full range drivers because of the convenience, but I can't convince myself. Would appreciate some advice and suggestions. Thanks.

The Satoris are an excellent choice.  Keep your sub, plug the satoris.

One thing to keep in mind is that the tweeter is MUCH smoother than the B&W, you may feel they are a little too laid back at first.

No, don't do full range drivers for movies. Go multi-way or go home. :) Get a full ranger for your desktop.

Also, you should ask this at DIYaudio.com - Lots of builders there.

That does sound amazing Soix, but I think it's more than I can handle at the moment. I wonder if there is a similar version with less drivers?
