what speakers would you choose for a hometheater?

This a B&W only selection... so please no other manufactures... love them or not... this is the question.

say you are building a home theater... no two channel... already have it.

you need five speakers. fronts center and surround.

saying cost is a factor...otherwise i am sure i will get the... 800's all around or 802's all around.

not so much as i have a budget...but there has to be a cost vs. benefit here. going 800 or 802 all around can't be great cost vs. benefit as the rears get limited sound to them and they cost a bunch.

i will have a sub for the system, maybe two... but that is not in this question. as other electronics are not in question here... lets just assume i have a separates for the amp and all.

so, what would you get?

I find that hard to believe that speakers don't mater because they are in a home theater....forums have all kinds of people i guess...

the room is 15 by 25 feet and the electronics could run any of the speakers.

Sthomas.... my post ,right before yours, stated that i have 804S speakers at all corners. (all five speakers). and i am using my old cdm SE speakers while i experiment with 7.1.

I understand that there are other companies that sell their speakers for less, that's all well and good, i enjoy my system. I have heard a great deal of professional commercial systems, and hometheaters and demo rooms.... mine at least stacks up tp any of them (and i do not even have room treatments.

i always love people saying that higher end speakers will not do that great with hometheater....dynamics and all.....i guess a speaker that is made to accurately reproduce sound does not do well????? make no common sense.
