B&W M1 Opinion?

I couldn't find much about these speakers, at least not recent opinion, on here and am wondering if anyone has feedback on them or recommendations for similarly priced (or cheaper) alternatives.

I'm setting up a home av system from scratch. Best Buy were trying to push the Def Tech Pro Cinema 600 or 800 range, but I listen to music as much if not more than watch tv and think the B&Ws seemed a bit better from what I heard, and not that much more expensive. The room their going in is about 16x16 with a dining room nook on one side.

They'll be powered by one of a Yamaha RX V765, Denon 1910 or Pio VSX 21THX or similarly priced receiver I think. I'm open to opinion on those too!

Thanks in advance for any input!

Thanks X. So you have them set up as rears? Hm. I do have worries about 5 of these little fellas being my whole system (plus a sub). Not sure what alternatives compete with the quality and are in this price range though.

Thanks Audio and Warp. It's interesting that basically all of you are saying they're good for computer/very small spaces or Xekester's case, just as rears.

I'll try and get a listen to these NHTs somewhere. They're cheaper as well.

If I was to buy all M1s plus a sub I'm looking at $1,500 for speakers and my hope is at that price range the grouping I buy should definitely be better than a system most people think suitable for a computer desk. But maybe I haven't bought home theater stuff in so long that I don't know what things should cost anymore!
