discontinued B&W CM series

Too much exterior Metrosexual styling, & a bit shallow on speaker performance for the cost?

I thought they sounded great and looked even better. I liked them better than the DM604 S3. I had a pair on order, but now I'm reconsidering due to the fact that in the future when I am ready to buy the center and surrounds I won't be able to get the matching speakers.

Any recommendations for a speaker pair in the $1000 - $1500 range?

Thanks.
