I am looking to put a new 5.1 system in my living room which is 13' x 14'. It has 3 windows and one side of the room is open to the kitchen. I have two setups that I am considering and I am trying to figure out the pro's and con's of each. Below are the choices;

Left and Right
Martin Logan Voyage

Center
Martin Logan Motif

Rears
Martin Logan Helos

or

Left and Right
B&W CMW 7.3

Center
CM Centre 2

Rears
undecided as I haven't looked at rears for the B&W brand yet.


My issues lies with the fact that both the B&W and Martin Logan sound very similar. I can tell a slight difference in sound quality for the Martin Logan but the LCR come out to a cost of $1,500 more than the B&W. Also the Martin Logan Voyage has 2 8" speakers where as the B&W cow 7.3 has 2 6" speakers.

Any help would be great from people who understand the specs of each and anyone that owns them as I have only listened to them for a couple of hours. I am truly undecided between these brands so any help would be great.
