It needs to match the L & R speakers. If it doesn't, the tonal change in voices as they pan from one side to the centre, or from the centre to one side, and move to/from the centre from/to one of the L/R speakers can become highly annoying. Music and effects weren't big problems for me but changes in voice timbre drove me crazy at times when I experimented with a non-matching speaker.

I think a centre speaker is certainly the way to go but if you'e going to do it then do it properly. Match the tonal characteristics of the speakers or you're better off running without a centre speaker in my view.
