I'm not sure about AU, but Jensen aren't considered a very good speaker in the states. They made good car speakers, but were never really considered for the home audio market.
Having towers for surround isn't bad, but only allow you to have them a specific height. It's usually recommended to have the rear and side surrounds above ear level since their sound is intended to be diffuse. Diffuse sound is the reason surrounds are either di-pole/bi-pole speakers so their sound isn't direct. Something worth considering.
Other speakers you might check out are the Energys, very reasonable, good quality. Or PSB Alpha series. Also reasonable with good sound. Check out used speakers. A lot of good deals can be found on ebay.
