I have my short list speaker choices narrowed down to the following:

B&W CWM LCR 8

RBH SI-6100

Dali Euphonia IWS3 Phantom

33/33/33 movies/music/gaming

Any comments/advice?

Hello
Not trying to belittle the other products you have listed but IMOHO the 6100 or even the SI-760 should not be placed in the same league as the others. There performance is a cut above. The SI-6100 is similar to the top of the line T-1 system reviewed here:

I have had the pleasure of installing many brands of in-wall’s including some very high-end exotic lines. I use RBH SI-760’s in one of my Home Theater’s and will probably upgrade them to the SI-6100 shortly they are phenomenal.

The SI-760 shown below is mounted on the wall. Custom cabinetry and shadow box will be built around it and the fixed wall screen and dual SI-12's will be mounted below them for total concealment without taking up a lot of space as most A/V entertainment systems do.
Hope this helps

Hi RLA

How does the SI 760 compare to the SI 6100? (It looks to be about 1/3 the price)

They sound similar but if your room is med-large go for the 6100 there dynamic capability is mind blowing. I currently have the 760’s up front but will be moving them to the rear for surrounds and upgrading to the 6100 for the front three with the center 6100 in a horizontal configuration below the screen.

My room size is 13x24x10 this room gets more use than our dedicated HT room. Send me a PM and I will give you some details include your room size and layout
