Surround speaker sugg. for Martin Logan fronts?


I recently purchased a pair of ML Quests here on Audiogon. I have a Martin Logan "cinema" center channel as well. I'm trying to find a pair of surround speakers that would match them. I know they make the scripts, but I don't think I could squeeze them in the back of my room. Room is 16 1/2 x 14 1/2 x 20 ft high. At the time the house was built, it was wired for side mounted surrounds about 9' high and 2 ft from back wall (just to side and back of sofa).

I've talked to several local dealers and they haven't given me any good answers..they just try to sell me what they have and "garuntee" it will work.

So far, I've been pointed to:
- B&W DS6 Dipoles (but they were discontinued)
- Boston Acoustic surrounds (can't remember model)
- ML Scripts "and just stick them back there"

Would anyone have any ideas? What are other people running?

How crucial is it to have them match sound wise?

Thanks!

We've had very good luck using the ML scripts in strange rooms by firing them off side walls or in one case the ceiling, might be something to consider, although it certainly depends on the room.
