Not really a B&W fan, but I have to say one of the better centers I've heard was the Matrix HTM (the one with the single midrange driver). It was very clear and coherent with none of the combing effects found in some dual mid configurations, so voices sounded consistent no matter where you sat in the room. There's one available here now for $300 that appears to be in good condition (no affiliation). Anyway, best of luck.
