I have a $100 JBL full range 3 way speaker, actually prt of a pair of $200 speakers, and they FAR exceed my $320 JBL center that i sold on ebay. Find a cheap pairi of full range speakers that you like the sound, and replace the center with one, an give the other to my brother, like I did.

Since it looks like multichannel music is here to stay, my next speaker upgrade will be a minimum of a matched threesome across the front, preferably all full range.
I'm with you on that one... I'm kinda sick of seeing the special "center channel" speakers that are wider and have two mid-woofers... what's the point?For a balanced sound across the front, you should really have three of the same model. Honestly, with how more receivers are just packing equal wattage amps across the board instead of weaker ones for the rears, it really makes more sense to have the same speakers in the back, too.
I'm going to build a center version of my front speakrs with matching drivers. Actually all five speakers will have scan speak 9500 tweeters and the three across the front will all have the same 7" drivers also from scan speak. The rears will also have 5" Vifa drivers. Six 7" drivers across the front with three tweeters ought to do it for our room. The rears should also be adequate. If they sound small if/when multi-channel music blossoms I can always build bigger speakers.
