matching center channel to mains/rears


I am getting a new HDTV, been out of home theatre for a long time. I need to pick up a center channel. My mains are Martin Logan Summitt's. I am looking to find an adequate center, as the "best" seems a tad pricey. Is there any loss in switching to a different brand of center, say going to a B&W? Also I'm using an old set of Vandersteen 2ci's for rears.

I’d be curious to learn how many guys & gals that don’t have separate 2 channel and home theater systems change the center speaker when they change the front speakers. My center speaker is a Monitor Audio Silver, and on my journey to TAS, I’ve paired that with Monitor Audio 10’s, ProAc’s, Acoustic Zen Adagio’s, Usher BE 718’s, and now Focal BE Micro Utopia’s. With my Theta Casablanca II, I’ve never had a problem matching the new fronts to the old center.
