CSi5 and FXi3 for bonehead (me) - Cherry Preferred

I'm new to forums and see a lot of postings where amount of posts became an issue, so I thought I would start on the Wanted thread.
Looking for a CSi5 center and a pair of FXi3s to replace a CS2 center and two Monitor 30s. The reason for the switch is detailed in a later part of this thread cause I didn't want anyone to be forced to read it if they weren't interested. Anyways, I'm in Los Angeles so if anyone sees these in any posting, I'd appreciate a heads up.
Thanks!
Story: So last year I had just moved into my new apartment and decided to start finishing my home theater collection that I had started years ago. At the core I have an Onkyo TX-SR573, what I thought were 2 Monitor 50s, and a PSW250. They had been sitting around not doing much and so I wanted to finish what began 4 years earlier. So I set them up at my new place and was able to find great deals on the CS2 and Monitor 30s on Newegg.com. Everything was going great when I started to notice differences in the speakers. When I went to register all of my equipment online I found out something both wonderful and daunting at the same time. What I thought were Monitor 50s were actually RTi8s. I looked through forums and posting to find out how much nicer these speakers were and was happy that I had such great equipment. On the other side though, I thought about the Timbre match and became a little un-nerved about my setup. So now I'm at the point where it's just an annoyance. I can't hear the difference enough to notice, but it just strikes a nerve and it's too much at this point. So that's why I'm a bonehead and now it's a little hard finding CSi and FXi speakers especially in cherry to match my RTi8s.
Anyways hope I didn't bore or offend anyone
