Gallo 3.1 Mains...What for the surrounds-Center


Recently purchased the 3.1's(get them tomorrow) and am now faced with a decision for the surrounds. We have been using our mains in phantom for center duty and have not missed having a center speaker. How would the 3.1's handle this duty? Working with a limited budget and the reference center is out of range at this time. Thinking about the Due or A'diva ti as a center, if it will really add to the experience, and a pair of either a'divas ti's or micro ti's for rears. Would appreciate opinions.
Thanks

An inexpensive option would be Mirage Omnisats. The sound would blend with the Gallo's and the look would be somewhat retained as well.
I have the 3.1's and have tried phantom and Dues for center. But none of them can touch the AV center for performance. The AV center is designed to be hung against the wall for best performance and that's were they are, under the plasma. The sound is fantastic with plenty of bass and integrates seamlessly across the front. I use a pair of Orbs for the rear, which also mates well with the rest of the system.
Have to agree with Kkm, I have the AV Center on the wall below the projector screen with amazing sound on the fronts (3.1s on the Left & Right).

Using the A'Divas (4) for the backs with good results in the ceiling.

Once I upgrade the AV Rec. I will be set!
Thanks again. Seems there are several gallo owners here and their experience is appreciated.
For now, due to finances, I will either have to use my paradigm center or go phantom. Having just gotten the Gallos I have not taken the time to really experiment but initial impression is that the 3.1's will handle center duty pretty well. If I happen to fine a deal on the av center that would be great.

I too am looking for a new receiver or pre that will handle the new formats. My emphasis will be on 2 channel sound but want the best of both. May be a while since I buy most of my equiptment used but that does give time for formats to settle and getting the bugs out.
Appreciate all the input.
