I've been using my processor set to 'phantom centre' for years, but because of an impending upgrade to Blu-ray have decided to get a centre speaker.

When using the phantom centre, the processor has to take information from the centre channel and process it into the main stereo channels, and in my book it's a case of the less processing the better provided the centre speaker is tonally matched.

Best advice I can offer you then is to log into Ebay or Audiogon/videogon and search for an MBL centre speaker - doesn't necessarily have to be the same model as your existing MBLs as manufacturers tend to have a house sound which allows different models to be used together.
