Klipsch center channel to compliment Forte I

I'm looking for a recommendation of a Klipsch center channel to compliment my Forte I powered by a Yamaha RX-V681 AVR.

The audio rack below the TV has 8" height available. I'm considering the R-52c center channel speaker but see that there are so many on their website. I'm looking for a good sonic match to my all original Forte I L&R speakers

I have Forte III and decided to get the RC64. I highly recommend it if you have room for it and the budget.

That surely looks like a nice one but I’m no where near that kind of money. A RP-504c or R-34c might be a possibility, but I’m sure doesn’t sound as good.

I did use the R-52C and did sound pretty nice to MY ears.  I elected to replace with psb Imagine XC.  My other speakers are Klipsch with subwoofer.  

I went back and forth with the R-52C and the PSB center, about 3 times.  The Imagine XC sounded a little better to my ears.  Maybe because the XC is a little more neutral?   The RC-52C is in an enclosed cabinet, thus can be up against a wall, if need be.  

My basement HT is 5.1 in a room that is 12 X 10.  My wife has her own TV listening area, the living room w a sound bar, which she prefers.
