help on center speaker


I am in the process of upgrading my system to 6.1 channels. I just got my NAD T753. I have front Linn Index speakers and just purchased Linn Unik for the back together with a Linn Afekt sub. Can someone recommend me a front center speaker to match with my current Linn speakers? I heard that Linn Centrik will be the best match (discontinued model). Will any other brand work for my setup or should I stick with Linn? Maybe KEF? Or maybe I won’t make any difference at all? Any ideas/comments are welcome.
Thanks a lot!

"It does not make sense to buy good/full range speakers for home theater and then to send all the low frequency to the sub."

When one uses full-range speakers with good bass response, one simply doesn't 'send all the low frequency to the sub', one leaves the low frequencies that are indeed present in the other 5 channels in those channels. The result is more directionality to the overall sound AND a less-loaded LFE woofer.

"I believe a good sub with cheap speakers will do the job as well."

Small speakers and 1 sub probably will never sound as good as 5 full-range speakers and a subwoofer.
