Speaker recommendations for Arcam AVR300?

What 5 channel speaker setup would you suggest pairing with an Arcam AVR300 and DV79 for HT? I use my setup 80% for movies and 20% for music. I really like the sound of B&W N804, HTM-1, and DS7. The B&Ws might require more power then the Arcam can output.

I just got an AVR300 and was shocked at how good my Tannoy Reveal monitors sounded. I have used my Reveals with all my stereos including my Tandberg/Threshold system and had no idea they could be so transparant. I bought my reveals on ebay for about $200 a pair, with the center channel costing aboutj $325. I have also owned the B&W DM series monitor and it didn't come close. I would also recommend PSB. I have a pair of PSB's that are entry level in price but in some ways outperform my Sonus Fabers.

I have a pair of Magnepan 1.6's with a rel b3 sub, hooked up to the AVR 300 -- the maggies sound real nice with this combination.

Can't recommend without describing your room/setup. I wouldn't recommend large speakers for small room, typical speakers in a low ceiling far back seating situation, nor dipoles in a dead room. Need more info...
