Surround pair ideas?

So what's out there at the moment in nice surround speakers? Just looking for a pair to do main surround in a 7.1 system. 100+watts 80hz thinking bipol in the £200-£400 region with reasonable match to mission 753/75C front.

None of the usual M&K, B&W etc suspects seem to fit you criteria.

How about Kef Q2's ? Bipoles that are claimed to go down to 80hz and should be relatively easy to drive.

Mission M5ds/78ds? They both should be pretty cheap by now as they're coming to teh end of their shelf lives. The m5ds is bipolar afaik although I believe the 78ds is dipole (arguably better but depends on their positioning)

Yeah I don't think I can get away with dipol unless I nail one to the back of my door.

Could be tempted by something switchable to experiment with.
