    Would JBL n24 timbre match the newer JBL E series center?? any thoughts??

    I'm limited on budget. Should have gotten the NSP set a few years back. GRRR. Nonetheless, I can still get the N24 surrounds from BHPHOTO ($69/pr), but no N Center. Do you think the E25 or 35 Center will match in sound likeness? I appreciate any follow up. Thanks.
