You may consider teh NHT line that was just discontinued the AC2 center adn 1.5 rears. The AC2 Center can be had between 450-500 used. 1.5 rears for $300. I had this set up with my NHT 2.9 prior to moving to Aerial 10T's and CC3B the AC2 center is by no means a slouch. In fact for the price to be had nowadays they would match pretty well considering they both use metal tweeters.
Just a thought since I agree the Thiel center and surround are $$$ so are the Aerial's.
Hope this helps.
