The trick is finding one that matchesIn my experience, this is crucial. I went without a center for years, but when listening to a well matched system tha included a center, I found I prefered the well matched system with a center.
Fortunately, I have a local dealer who let me take center speakers home to try out with my system. After trying 5 different centers, I did find one that was a good match.
I would agree that if you can go with 3 identical speakers up front, that would be ideal (in my case it wasn't possible as I am using large towers for L&R). If you can't, then it's a matter of experimenting to see what works best. If I was unable to find a good match for my main speakers, then I would certainly not be using a center today.
