What speaker package for my Arcam AVR250?

I have receiver Arcam AVR250 and I'm thinking of buying B&W CM series (CM7 front, CM1 back). I listened to them and sounded great. Are that speakers matching my receiver (considering a price) and can you give me some other alternatives?
I've heard good things about the CM series, and if you've heard them and like them, then they seem like a sound buy.
Others at around the same price? My personal choice would be PMC GB1/DB1+MC/DB1+, with the TLE1 subwoofer if you can afford it or something like an MJ Acoustics Reference 100 MkII sub if you can't. The speakers sound great, and you can even get the MJ in a light oak finish to match the PMCs.
Other obvious contenders are the Dali Ikon 6 package, or the Monitor Audio Silver RS6AV, or for something more 'designer', the Tannoy Arena HighLine 500.
