center speaker options for gershman x-1 based home


I have a dedicated system in my living room which I use exclusively for watching movies. I however have been using it without a center channel and I now am looking into the option of a well matched center channel speaker . The cc-X would be a fine choice however It rarely comes up used and I am not sure if I want to purchase it new since it would cost me twice as much than the x-1's I got here on audiogon. Any good timbre machted options around 900-950$ (used or new) ?

I do not agree. An unmatched center is worse than a phantom center since it will skew the FR of the entire system.

If you cannot get the dedicated center, consider a smaller regular speaker from the same stable. Most of these are superior to the so-called dedicated centers and one of them will be easier to obtain on the used market.
