Hi! I use a Wharfdale Diamond 8 Center Speaker for my set-up...only because the entire set are composed of Wharfs. I recommend it coz it does have very good SQ. However, it really depends on your listening preference. Wharfs are available around A/V shops. Try and PM Sir E-reply of S&S for a quote. ;D

It is a risk to replace your center speaker with other brands since this is a HTiB. With HTiBs, speakers and amps are already electrically and sonically matched, such that taking either the speakers or the amp out of the equation will usually sound bad and may result into damaging either the speaker or the amp.
With too many options you could end up not choosing one

Get a center speaker with the same brand and series with your front speakers...

added hypothetical question lang,

what will be a good center spkr, provided you have fronts like acoustic energy evo series, knowing na wala na distributor pla at discontinued ang series (sa tagal na umiwas hobby na ito at pagbabalik, nde ko alam na nawala ito sa pinas). provided that you may not want to dispose th front spkrs.

is there like an audyssey eq avail that you can buy and attach to pre-existing rcvr that we can buy also? thanks...
