Condider a couple sets of these:

They sound better than anything else for the money and your amp choices provide enough power to drive Maggies.

Try listening to the Monitor Audio Silver RS6s, and the silver sereis for surrounds too. I have the RS6s and I think they are awsome. They look very good and also have excellent reviews ...and in the article you mentioned too..RS6s are reviewed slightly better than the Dali. -Pradeep

I don't have enough recent experience to make specific recommendations in your price range, but I know for a fact that if you want a surround system, timbre-matching your mains, center, and surround makes a big difference in the results. Having used crappy surrounds with some decent front speakers for a brief period, I can tell you that "pretty much anything" isn't a good idea for your surrounds. So I'm suggesting you look at a speaker "family" and try to get all of them (except perhaps the sub) from the same manufacturer and speaker line.
