It sounds as if you don't have any money yet you are still getting some form of center channel? If you have some budget, check into the audiogon and used ML center channels. I have a full ML system in my ht and have tried various centers (just to experiment) and nothing works terribly well except another ML. The one exception is a ribbon or dipole.

You might try getting a definitive center channel (much less expensive than the ML) like the 2000 series and see about it as an alternative. Certainly I would NOT get a traditional front radiator -- it just won't blend well with the ML sound.
