For a center, I highly recommend MCS1 and PowerPoints for surround. You will need to spend some money on good amps... no other way around it. Thiels do require plenty of power (quality more than quantity though). Look for an amp that doubles into 4ohm. McIntosh would be the exception to that (and they match really well!).
My stereo (which is also part of my HT) consists of 2.4's, MCS1 for center and surround and PowerPoints as rears. Krell HTS7.1 pre/pro (great analog section), ML 334 for L/R and a Harman Kardon Signature for the other 5 channels. Subs for HT only are a pair of Epik Legends.
