Martin Logan Center Channel-make sense??

Since I have always been more of a two-channel guy than HT guy, I am wondering, because the center channel is so important, would it make sense to have a Martin Logan center channel (like the Cinema i) if the other R/L and surround speakers are not ELS (traditional two-ways) of significant lesser quality (KEFs). I have a Sunfire sub and am thinking having a top notch center might really get the most bang where it counts. Would it be dramatically mismatched with the other speakers though?

No...I doubt it would work. Even if you mix cone speaker brands, it's usually pretty obvious. Heck, even mixing different models within the same brand often causes noticeable mismatches.

You should use a center that exactly matches the L/R speakers or you're better off using no center channel at all.
