Center and surround speaker advice

I am new to the home theater thing. I recently purchased an Integra DTR 6.5 AV receiver. Currently, I have a pair of older ADS L630 (25 years old) speakers as the front left and right. I have a new Polk Audio PSW303 8" subwoofer. I plan to keep the existing ADS speakers in the system for now since they still sound good to my ear. I am not so thrilled about the subwoofer since it rattles at just about any volume level ( the rattle is not very noticable from the viewing/listening area but very apparent when up close). I am looking to add a new center and surround speakers to the system. I would consider in-wall/ceiling speakers since our viewing/listening room, for all intents and purposes, has only two walls. The room's ceiling slopes up from the TV/receiver to the viewing/listening area approximately 3 feet from 9' to 12' in a horizontal distance of 9-10'. I have listened to Jamo, Energy, PSB and Klispsh speakers. I have also been told that Tannoy should be considered. I would also certainly consider ADS speakers but have not had a chance to listen to their new line. I would appreciate advice/information regarding the above particularly center and surround speakers and possibly a different subwoofer. I am allowing about $1k for a budget. I plan to upgrade other system components in the future but have to set a spending limit for now. Thanks

Paradigm, B&W, PSB, Axiom, and Rocket are also some great options.
