Magnepan 1.6 fronts-what non-maggies center/sur


I have Magnepan 1.6 for 2 channel system. I am moving to 7.1. I need to purchase speakers for center and 2 sets of surrounds. I do not have space for Magnepan surrounds or centers. Anyone successfully mix speaker types like this? If so, what worked. I am thinking about Paradigm ADP. Other equipment ATI 2 channel amp (250/375 WPC), Onkyo 850 AV Receiver, Rel T2 sub.
Thanks,
Dan

The original Linaeum speakers, or....Aurasound linaeum speakers work fairly well. Radio shack, also had some models which used the Linaeum drivers...I have no experience with these though? (under $100)

Hard to find, but Apogee speakers, had a few hometheater speakers in their line. ($200-$500)

Any other small cone/ribbon hybrid may work well also? ($300-$800)

I have Apogee panels, and did use an Apogee speaker as a center channel in the past. I'm using an Aurasound Linaeum speaker right now though....works well enough for movies.
