Affordable center channel to match Sophia's?


I have some Wilson Sophia's and I need a very good center channel for HT but I've run out of money ... haha.

What would match up well and not break the bank (willing to go used).

THanks

This very subject has come up a time or two in the past. I got the Soph.2's.-- HT just ain't as important to me so the price of their center is much more than I want to spend. It would be nice to know of a brand that would blend in,ya know, kinda like,for many of us less demanding HT folk. I have given a bit of thought to picking up a pair of regular speakers and maybe turning one of them sideways. Right now I'm using a Lowther center because I had 2 horn systems in the past. The dialog is quite good but that's about all.
George, I have a very similar problem, but in my case rears and matching (I'm using that term loosely) my Shahinian main 2CH speakers. I know the "right" answer in my case is Shahinians for the back (NOT cheap) and an amp. I'm not that much into MC, and even a reasonable tonal match would be good. And in my case if they can be self powered all the better.

I'm not worried about a center. My speakers are "polyradial" to begin with (think omnidirectional), so a phantom center though my MC controller would probably be good enough.
Does not Wilson use off the shelf drivers. Try to find a center channel that uses the same brand of drivers that Wilson uses. Look for a center that has the same dB rating as yours. Try to match it spec-wise and you might find one that blends well without breaking the bank.
