Center Channel Speaker Suggestion for HT


Hi,I am in the market for a Center Channel Speaker. Here is my current setup:
Marantz AV7702 Preamp, Monolith 7X200W Amp, Front Speakers - B&W CM10, Surround, CM5.

Room size is 20 X 12 and looking to upgrade center channel. Mostly I watch movies and music videos.

Suggestion for a matching Center channel for this setup would be appreciated.

Question - Does the center channel have to be B&W or can I go with something else? I am not necessarily looking for new speakers.

Question - Can I try a full range speaker for Center Channel - laying it flat?

Thanks for your suggestions in advance.

As ricred1's experience illustrates, not only the same brand but the same Series within a brand to keep Sonic uniformity...
Unless the company uses the same drivers etc., throughout their different series, then perhaps mixing & matching would work.
