Greetings.
I'm about to buy my first AV system. It was indented to be a 5.1, but because of budget was reduced to a 2.1 (2.0 for now) with the possibility to became 5.1 during the current year.

Most likely I will buy the Onkyo 507 (Sony DH800 is still a option), and I've spend the past weeks (about 2 months now) gathering all information about makers, models and stores that sells and ships speakers.

I live in Portugal , many suppliers don't ship to outside UK, so I have to stick with the ones who do, and/or buy from the domestic stores.

Recently I've narrowed my search to 3 models within the same price range.
- Q Acoustics 1030i
- MORDAUNT SHORT Avant 914i
- Wharfedale Diamond 10.3

The problem is that both QA and MS models are discontinued, and it's very difficult to find a matching center speaker (Qa 100Ci and MS Avant 905i).
As for de Diamond 10.3, I can easily find the 10.CC CS and CM, and because it's a more recent model I can skip this purchase for now.

I've been told that for this money (+/- 225£) I could get something better than the Wharfedale, so I've been searching... without success.

My question: Is it worth to spend more time looking for the matching center of the other 2 brands, or the difference between that and the Wharfedale are minimal?
How would you compare the Wharfedale Diamond 10.3 to the Q Acoustics 1030i and MORDAUNT SHORT Avant 914i ?

Many thanks in advance for all your suggestions.
