I have a set of 603 B&W's across the front and I"m finally adding rear speakers to my setup. My room config stinks, so I'm looking for sogo's. I don't have much room on the rear or side walls for the Rears and my positioning stinks.

I was orig. thinking 7.1 but I've been disabused of that notion given my constraints.

I've had others suggest Omnipolars, but I fear they wont blend well with the B&W's. WHat about the ceiling approach using the Energy Veritas or the B&W ceiling speakers?

I want nice, warm, well matched. I've also considered the B&W FPM, but I don't think these are "full" enough sounding.

So, any Energy Veritas Ceiling owners out there?

Any suggestions on my room issues are MUCH appreaciated in terms of what to use for rears and where to place.

Oh, one more thing, WAF is a HUGE issue. Simple, boxy, dull looking rear speakers wont do. They either need to disappear, or they need to have some flair to them (ie: Black Piano Finish or styling like the Phase Technology Arte OnWall speaker or the B&W FPM speaker).

Thanks!!

Here's my layout
