Because of that, I would reconsider the Sopra 3 with a Sopra Center if that works into your budget better.

I agree, IMO you're better off skipping the center with the Scalas and sticking with 2 channel. Everything will still be there, it's just rendered in PCM to 2 speakers. 2 really really good speakers in your case.
