The center really should match the mains. It's not either/or. If a receiver can power a 4 ohm speaker then it can power any speaker rated 4 ohms or higher. Like I said, there is a choice on the receiver, 4 ohm or 8 ohm, because the 4 ohm setting cuts the power down considerably. Some say you should keep the setting at 8 ohms even if you run 4 ohm speakers. I won't say that, but some do .
