CM1's ALL AROUND?


Hi guys,

New to the forum. So hi and hello to everyone first and foremost.

Was hoping you guys can steer me in the right direction. I currently have CM'1 for my L+R and Center. My center is an S2 whilst the others are both last years model.

With the drop in pricing I can afford another pair of CM1-S1 to be my surrounds as I only plan on doing a 5.1 for now.

What do you think? Overkill? Can you recommend something else?

Thanks in advance for your support.

Assuming you're getting the surround pair used and that you really like the sound you have so far, I think having largely the same speakers all around would outweigh any savings you'd achieve by buying cheaper surrounds. If you're not running a subwoofer maybe another option would be to pick up used CM7s and put your CM1s in the rear. Personally, if that's the situation I'd get the CM1s and add a good sub later. Best of luck.
Good advice. Are you looking for another set of CM1s rather than floorstanders due to a small room ?
If all CM1, you should have a subwoofer.
Yes I am in a semi-small room. Maybe 20 feet x 30 feet. Although I am portioning only half that as my living room but it opens to the kitchen and dining area.

I do have a sub-woofer JBL SP150. Not the best. Sorry forgot to say that.

The CM1's I am getting are new actually but last years model as they are priced almost 35-40% less.

Should I go bigger in the front and push the CM1's to the back? That might get costly!
