Matching Royd Speakers

My wife and I are interested in setting up a home theater system. We recently purchased a pair of Royd Doublets which we would like to use as our front main speakers. These speakers are very musical and we really like them. Our problem is Royd has revamped their speaker line and went upscale as far as prices are concerned (way beyond our budget - we paid $1300 for the Doublets). We would like to get a center channel and the rear channel speakers but are unsure as to what other manufacturers would match the Royds. Any ideas or comments.

Hemors only work in the rear. They tend to be hot but some PrepAitch cables will cool them right off. They sound better when the listener is standing.

Hemors, is that a brand name? Never heard of them, but that is not surprising. Can someone enlighten me.

A friend of mine had his Hemors modified (relatively expensive but he had some kind of "insurance" that covered most of the cost). Prior to the mod they sounded too "hot"...the kind of sound that'd make your ears "bleed". It's taken awhile to get them broken in, but with some time and patience, they now sound very "relaxed" and soothing. You can listen for hours w/o any hint of flair-up.

Okay, Dave, we've had our fun. We are all making fun of the name Royd, and the Hemor-Royd is what it is all about. Hemmorhoid, get it? Just all in fun, no disrespect meant.

I am trying to be a little serious and in the end was just dense. What else is new? LOL

Seriously, South43 thanks for the number. I called and they reccommended the Totem Mite-t and Mite-c-t to match. Totem uses the exact same tweeter as the Royds. What does everyone thenk about Totem Acoustics? Looking for information.
