If you were primarily a gamer, i'd say get the Logitech Z-560s.  Given
that you're in the UK I can't recommend Monsoon since they won't have
a presence there for another six months.  the same goes for Polk.
That leaves you Logitech and Boston Acoustics in terms of quality.
Now I know you're likely cringing at the word "Logitech" but their new
4.1 lineup is really quite special.  At that point you're looking at a
"phantom" center channel but this model carries off quite well.

If you wanted to go mail-order overseas I'd recommend the 5.1 Monsoon
MH-505s hands down.

It also fits in your price bracket.
