Surround Speakers for B&W

Looking for speaker recommendations to add surround speakers to B&W 601 fronts & CC6 center. Space is living room and wife doesn't want anything that takes up too much space. For example 600 S3 is too large for her taste. This is not a primary HT setup but I'd like to have 5.1 flexibility.

Thanks,

Why not go for a pair of B&W M-1 or the older LM-1 for surrounds.

Yes, totally agree with Scar972. Go for a pair of the B&W M-1s. I have them and they're fabulous for surround sound. Read up on them at B&Ws site. They're small, compact, and fairly good looking. But they're quite substantial in build quality and weight.

In black, they look smart. They're also available in silver and white. B&W calls them Mini-theater speakers. I believe new they sell for about $225.00 each. They should be placed a little above ear level when sitting down. B&W sells an optional stand for eac but they're rather pricey. I bought a pair of Omnimount HTS series telescopic type speaker stands for smaller speakers. Quite reasonable.

Thx for the suggestions. I'm leaning towards the M-1s but for the price of LM-1s I might give them a shot if I come across a black pair.
