B&W CM9 HT or XT8HT?

[admin_exported]

Hi, I have auditioned couple of HT speaker system, eg Epos, Tannoy, Hecos and B&W and my preference is for the B&W system and i am in a dilemma as to which system i should go for - the CM9 HT or the XT8, as i am relatively new, seeking opinions / guidance and what receivers / bdp should i match them with? Thanks in advance!

I have only heard the CM9, but trust me, save £900 and get the B&W 683, they virtually sound the same, no joke! Try both, make your mind up! If you want, I will take pictures of my 683's if you wish.

Also, do you plan to use mainly for TV and movies, or mainly music?

Thanks! Plan is to use it for music and TV/movies - 70 pct music / 30 pct movies.
