I am looking at buying either an Energy Connoisseur package or one of two B&W 600 series packages. I would appreciate any perspectives you have on these speakers/combinations. Mostly I'd like to understand if it's worth spending up for the B&W's.

Energy Connoisseur package:

Fronts: C-9 $800/pair
Center: C-C3 $600
Surrounds: C-3 $300/pair
Sub: exl S12 $400 (demo)
Total: $2100 USD

B&W package 1:
Fronts: DM603 S3
Center: LCR60
Surrounds: DM600 S3
Sub ASW 600
Total package: $2300 USD

B&W package 2:
Fronts: DM604 S3
Center: LCR600
Surrounds DM600 S3
Sub ASW 600
Total package: $2700 USD

I like the sound of the second B&W package the best, but would like to keep the cost as low as possible (still need to by new DVD player ) so am considering the other two options. Music is equally important to me as Movie/TV sound. My room is about 18' square.

Thanks All!.
