Need good center speaker

That the center is used for so much is a reason to get a really good one. If you aren't getting good sound staging, and your speakers are properly positioned and adjusted, then it's the fault of the mix.

The reason to use a center channel is if not all the viewers can sit well centered between the left and right speakers. Try turning off your center channel and using a phantom. Now, walk from the left edge of your viewing area to the right, and back again. Do this while there's some highly monaural material playing, and you'll hear the image moving across the sound stage, towards whatever side you're at. So, viewers to the left and right sides of the viewing area get a better center image, if you use a real center speaker.
