Help matching surround speakers

[Mad River]

Hi All,
I recently inherited a bit of A/V equipment, and would like some input on the best use of what I have. Here's my basic setup:
16' X 16' room
Anthem AVM2 Preamp/Tuner
Anthem MCA 5 Amp
Totem Acoustic Forest as my main speakers (link)
Totem Acoustics Model 1 center (link)
Paradigm PS1000 Sub (link)

There are 3 other sets of speakers, and I don't know which to use as my surrounds. They are:
Totem Acoustics Sttaf (link)
PMC TB2 (link)
Paradigm Atom v2 (link)

I don't know much about these speakers, or how to match surrounds to mains. Any input would be appreciated! Thanks!

Sorry for your loss.

That is some nice equipment.

Does that amp/pre combo have second zone capabilities? It seems like the Center may be a better match for the Staffs than the Forests. Were the Forests being used for 2-channel and the rest for HT? I'd use the Staffs as surrounds if you are using the Forests up front as they will have a similar sonic signature being from the same company.

Thanks, Tex-amp.
Yes, there is a second zone on the preamp, though I'm not sure if I have a use for it in my current place.
The Forests were set up with that center-channel, so I had assumed that they were well matched. As I said, I don't really know much about these speakers.
Thanks for your input!

I'll second Tex's response.
