Default BW In Ceiling Speakers for 804s

What BW ceiling speaker would be a good match for 804s which are my LCR. These would be for surround. But I also have a set in the front ceiling above my screen as well as throughout my house that Im considering upgrading as well for music.

If you want the absolute best match, I would try to find the discontinued ccm8.5 (non-diamond versions). Otherwise, anything from the ci700 would be second option.

Haven't done anything yet. Ended up finding a MX110 McIntosh preamp and got it, too good to pass up. But after researching Im probably going to go with the CCM 7.3 for my front for some nice music listening and the CCM Cinema 7 for my surrounds. And may get the CCM 682 for the rest of the house. But Ive got to build back up some capital.

I am using in-ceiling CCM682 for Atmos, which are 8" drivers and come highly recommended by B&W for their wide dispersion characteristics, perfect for overhead effects.

This thread has sparked my interest. My listening room, aka living room, is a big room, 24 x 34 with very high pitched roof ceilings (10-20'). My speaker's axis are parallel to the roof ridge line. I moved into this house several years ago with a pre-existing situation of one side of the ceiling having 2 in wall speakers and the opposite side wall (not ceiling) having 2 in wall subs. Not to waste speakers, I set up a separate amp and separate volume controls for these in wall speakers but I'm conflicted as to whether they add anything or just confuse the soundstage. I can easily turn them on or off and most (non audiophile) people say they open the sound up. The purist in me resists this idea. I have a separate home theater with multi channel so I can appreciate the benefit of surrounding speakers for film sound but really wonder about it for 2 channel listening. My habit so far is to turn them on for parties where people are wondering about but leave them off otherwise. Any thoughts ?
