Honestly I would at least try the Scalas by themselves, you'll be surprised how Surround decoded to stereo sounds on speakers like those. My Sopras throw sound all over the place and have a locked in center image also. People ask me where my center speaker is, and how the sound comes from behind them with no speakers. The soundstage has height , width and depth that appears to expand well beyond the front wall and reaches behind you.
