Hey everyone! I stumbled across a pair of B&W CDM 7-SE on Facebook marketplace. The seller is asking $750 and so far I’ve gotten them down to $450. What are they worth? There is a ding in one cabinet, but otherwise they have been described as perfect. How would these fair as my front l/r for 50/50 music/movies or tv? 3.2 setup. I currently have Polk audio monitor 60 series ii. Would these be much better? Onkyo TX-Nr686 would be powering them at 100w/ch at 8ohms. Movies are listened to around 60-68 on the receiver and music around 50-60 typically. If I were to get these, what would you suggest for a center channel? Certainly can’t keep the Polk if I’m upgrading everything else lol. I know my writing is kind of hard to follow but I appreciate all the help. Thanks everyone

They are > 20 years old, so parts will not be available should anything happen to them.
Here's the bluebook info: Retail used $900-1100, so sounds like a good deal.
For center you'll need to find a CDMSE center for a perfect match, otherwise CDMNT or original 700 series would be the next closest.
