Hi, over the last year i've been putting together a home cinema system.

So far this includes: Pioneer dv565a player

                              NAD T751 reciever (got cheap and will upgrade in the near future)

                              Castle Howard S3's as mains

                              Castle Bastion centre speaker.

Problem: The company closed before I managed to buy my rear speakers. Have been searching the internet for uk hifi stores and ebay daily for someone to list a pair ( richmond's, durham's ect) but had no luck in about two months. What can I do?

P.S. Please dont tell me to sell the castles and buy another speaker system, I love the Howard's as they are my hifi speakers too. And I dont want a sub.

               Any solutions/contacts would be greatly appreciated.

 Couldn't find any cherry ones, but how about a pair of light oak or maple which you could stain or oil darker to match the rest?

But yes compact sats on the rears would be fine
