Default Looking at speakers to finish out 5.1 setup, oppions needed

So im piecing together my 5.1 setup, and ive come across a Set of BSR DR 1550L, or a set of saphire st2 speakers + sp3b 10" sub. Im wondering what you all would choose. I dont know all that much about Home Theatre brands and what not, so im going off the info ive found googling them, which in the BSR's case is very little. The Saphires seem like good speakers, probably better then the Klipsch i have for mains right now.


Heres what i currently have:

Pioneer VSX-519 5x110W
Klipsch KM4 KG3.5 Mains
*Pending Pickup* Cambridge CenterStage

i Can Scoop up the BSR's for 80$ for the pair, or 300$ for the ST2's and sp3b. i dont mind spending the extra money on the st2's, if there a good bit better then the BSR's. although the info ive found on the BSR's makes them seem pretty damn good.

So, what say you OCN Audio gurus?

*edit* i will be putting the stronger sounding speakers in front as mains, if either set that im looking at out performs the KG3.5's ill be moving them to the rears, just an FYI*edit*

ideally you want the same speakers, in absence of that having speakers voiced the same/similar at least across the front is best.
