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.

Ohlala,
Who makes the the Hemor center channel. I can't find any information on it. Thanks.

As far as the name goes, talk to Joe Akroyd.

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

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.

South43,

I did call Royd Loudspeakers and Jo Ackroyd answered the phone (I didn't know it at the time). He was very helpful and actually suggested Rega, because you want the British sound, you know. The one thing he did say was that the rear channel speakers should not have over-emphasized bass as it would cause a bad interaction with the Doublets. I am still planning to listen to the Totems and the Rega's, when I get a chance.
