Good center to put with Klipsch fronts?

[Uniquely]

I recently gave up on the idea of upgrading my receiver and decided to wait for just the "right one." Instead I think I would like to invest in a "beefier" center channel. I haven't seen anything in the Klispch lines that I think I want... and there really aren't any listening rooms in my city.

Do you guys have any recomendations on a center that might be a good match for the fronts listed in my sig? It's going to be a few years before I can upgrade my fronts... so matching is a big concern. Budget is about $500-600 I guess; but has wriggle room if there's something AWESOME I need.... LOL

The only bigger, beefier speaker that you could put with your F-2's and call a match is the C-3. However, it's been discontinued by Klipsch, and may be difficult to find. I would suggest keeping an eye on Audiogon and Ebay for one. I think it should fall within your budget if you're lucky enough to find one. Good luck.

It doesn't have to be an exact tonal match I don't think... just something that's not going to sound out of place.

Oh... and size isn't an issue guys. I can alter my stand to accomodate almost anything.

I searched Ebay before I posted above and couldn't find any. Could you post a link please? I saw a couple of speakers listed as Synergy III, but they both were C-2 models.
