Need advice on CLX surround system

Is it necessary to go electrostatic with side speakers in a CLX 5.1 audio setup? I stumbled on a great deal on a Stage center so I'm thinking of expanding my 2 channel CLX setup which also consists of two Descent i's... I'm looking for something inexpensive (since this "thing" is just a whim") and don't want to go with anything too intrusive. Also, I really don't like the looks of the lower end Martin Logan line but might have to settle for a Prodigy or Vantage. Intrusive. The discontinued wall mounted Scripts seemed like a possibility but I'm sure they wouldn't have the presence that would be needed. Any good suggestions would be appreciated. Maybe I should just dump the Stage and forget it. Don't know....

If you can't do it right, don't do it at all.

I don't think you will be happy with anything that does not have a electrostatic pannel in it. If you don't have the floor space, then find some used Scripts. Floor standers will give you the option to move them around. It could make a big difference in how they perform.

Thank you so much. I appreciate the comments. I've been searching for Vantages but they may be too much for the space - I have located a pair of Scripts but was wondering if they would have the presence and imaging to pair with the CLX's. My inclination is to make the Vantages work and scrap the Scipt idea. Does that seem like the reasonable direction? Any words are much appreciated - I certainly am wide open to input.
