Center channel to complement Klipsch Fortes

Let me start by saying first that I am brand new to this site and second that I am probably not a true audiophile; I love nice equipment, and about 20 years ago invested in an above-average system, but I am not well versed in all the technical aspects and so forth.

That said, I am looking to convert from my current set up (Klipsch Fortes and a Nakamichi SR-3A) to home theater and am wondering if there is any good center channel that mates up with the Fortes.

I'm told that it's important a center channel have the exact same tweeter as the fronts but am guessing that Klipsch wasn't making center channels back in 1985 when the I believe the Fortes were produced.

Am I better off selling the Fortes and starting anew? If so, what would you all suggest as a close match to that wonderful Klipsch sound? I'm told that Klipsch themselves has drifted into the the lower-end market these days. Is that true?

Thanks in advance for your help.

The truest match for your Fortes is a Klipscg Academy. Hard to find for sure, but they come occasionally here and on other boards, as well as eBay (where they go for often astonomical prices). You won't be disappointed if you are lucky enough to find one.
