Need advice on CLX surround system


Is it necessary to go electrostatic with side speakers in a CLX 5.1 audio setup? I stumbled on a great deal on a Stage center so I'm thinking of expanding my 2 channel CLX setup which also consists of two Descent i's... I'm looking for something inexpensive (since this "thing" is just a whim") and don't want to go with anything too intrusive. Also, I really don't like the looks of the lower end Martin Logan line but might have to settle for a Prodigy or Vantage. Intrusive. The discontinued wall mounted Scripts seemed like a possibility but I'm sure they wouldn't have the presence that would be needed. Any good suggestions would be appreciated. Maybe I should just dump the Stage and forget it. Don't know....

Thank you so much. I appreciate the comments. I've been searching for Vantages but they may be too much for the space - I have located a pair of Scripts but was wondering if they would have the presence and imaging to pair with the CLX's. My inclination is to make the Vantages work and scrap the Scipt idea. Does that seem like the reasonable direction? Any words are much appreciated - I certainly am wide open to input.
My thoughts exactly on the Vantages (wall proximity); however, I've stumbled on an inexpensive pair and I think I'll at least test direction. And I don't know where all the Scripts have gone. Can't seem to find any black. I've also been looking at the new wall mounted electrostats on the M.L. site - the EFX - they look like the exact ticket but for my secondary application that is just too darn expensive. Again, thanks for the input.
