Front 3 Speakers - Monitor Audio Radius or Other Options

    I'm looking to change my front 3 speakers (currently Quad L-ites) for something a bit more manageable and due to a room change. Any speakers would be driven by an Arcam AVR350.

    Essentially my current thinking is the 3 speakers mounted horizontally under my projector screen which is 195cm wide.

    From looking at the Monitor Audio Radius speakers dimensions, I could fit the following and be flush with the width of the screen:

    180HD (35cm) - 250HD (76cm) - 180HD (35cm)
    225HD (61cm) - 225HD (61cm) - 225HD (61cm)

    (Also an option might be 3 x 250HD's although they would be wider than the screen).

    Can you give me a price (PM if necessary) for the two above setups?

    Which would be better for mainly movies?
    Beefier centre with a 25cm gap to two smaller "satellites" either side.

    or

    Each speaker the same size with a 6cm gap either side of the centre to the two "satellites".

    Any other options along these lines?

    The "Tannoy REVOLUTION SIGNATURE DC6 LCR" looks a good deal too but I think it's double the depth of the MA Radius speakers.

    Can you give me a price for 3 of the Tannoy's also?

    Any other suggestions?

    If I can manage to fit a traditional bookshelf left, right and centre speakers in, how do the Mezzo 2 / Mezzo 5 speakers compare to the MA RX1/RX2 & RX Centre work out?

    I have a price for the RX2 & RX Centre. Can you PM me a price for the Mezzo 2/Mezzo 5 setup and RX1/RX Centre?

    Keep in mind anything I get will have to be wall mounted and if the MA's I might have to plug the rear port and set the cross over frequency on the AVR.
