I am assuming you are happy with the B&W 602 S3 and LCR 60? If so I would look to fill the gap with another pair from the 600 series. Are you planning to use or move 602's to the rear as surrounds (or 5 channel-stereo)? Depending on the size of your budget and room, you might look at the 603 S3 or 604S3 for the fronts. The Martin Logan Montage is a nice speaker however it has a very different sound than the B&W in my opinion, you might find this distracting when listening to DD/DTS or 5 channel stereo. I have not heard the Magnepan MG12, but would presume the timbre match or lack there of may be distracting in multichannel. My 2 cents.

Thanks Edcon
You have good point.
I happy w/ B&W for HT and I just want another a pair speaker for music(switch A-B speaker)to match w/ 990/7125.
I don't think Martin Logan or Magnepan are good for high volume HT (if I change to Martin Logan or Magnepan all LCR it going to be difference ball game)I want to end my gear.
Edcom what's you use Parasound HCA 1500A Amp for?

Your Welcome
I have two zones. Zone 1 is full 7.1, which I am driving with the Outlaw 7125. Zone 2 using the Parasound to drive the Boston’s V3's (out back in screened patio.)
