Welcome sparky1985!

If it brings you joy then who cares what we think...but since you asked!

I have not ever listened to any of these speakers but It looks like solid equipment. The only thing I would try to address is matching the right. left and center to make the sound stage across the front more seamless . That being said some run different centers and seem to enjoy the sound.

I say kick back and enjoy!

Look at the Cambridge S50 for your center channel - Or buy another
pair of the S30, and use one as a center ( It only costs a few dollars
more than the center). Then decide if you want to upgrade your sub.

The Cambridge S30, are my favorite budget speakers - Good Luck!
