The most important thing to a center channel is that it Timbre Matches the fronts . So for best results you would want the same brand as the fronts .

Welcome to the forum Bigoez!

Are we starting from scratch?
Do you have any existing speakers already?

If not, id suggest to invest more into the center speaker, than your current budget. The center would carry around 90% of the dialogue, and most details are found in this track as well. If possible, you can also have them matching your current speakers you have to get a good, seamless transitional soundstage.

Nonetheless, give us more details and we can give you more detailed answers.

Welcome to the forum!

im akwardly at work right now, thus the delayed postings.

nonetheless, i guess im being a tad finicky about suggesting something that id know, in the long run, would be replaced by something else in the future. no need in upgrading when we can get that 'upgraded' unit in the first place.

my stance on building a HT would generally be 'spend once on some very good set of speakers, avoiding those small incremental steps to get to that point.'...

these are investments right?

No, speakers are like fish and go bad after a certain number of periods. They need to be replaced often.
