What to do with a center speaker?
Try Facebook marketplace or Craigslist or some other local platform. There's bound to be a local home theater person who would love it.  
...take 1 CD LP or 1 digital music recording to test a new audiophile friend's system...
JLP, Al Dimeola, Stanley Clarke - Rites of Strings CD. One of the best produced CDs I've ever heard. And, of course, Dire Straits Brothers in Arms 45 lp.

I would suggest you call Keith Herron and tell him your rig, listening habits, and price range. If you're within a few hours of St. Louis, see if you can arrange an in-home audition. Oddly enough, millercarbon is right in just how Herron products ... 
Poor Fritz
@b_limo Thanks for the clarification. It makes sense. 
What's your favorite boutique speaker maker
I took a look at Simon Mears Audio and boutique they are. Not to my taste but I imagine they sound wonderful. 
Poor Fritz
Question: I’ve wondered about Fritz for awhile now. I have a pair of Spatial M3 Turbo S’s that are completely satisfying, but I wish Fritz offered a floorstander. Does he? or do his monitors compare to the Spatials?s

If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living?
The last Rush show I was at: May 14, 2015. Their final tour and my 37th Rush show.  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
The 45 of Coltrane's "My Favorite Things" - holographic and so emotionally pleasing!Also, @mwinkc -- how would you rate Islam's revision of Tillerman? Worth getting? 
Klipsch La Scala 2018 or the Triangle Cello?
You can't go wrong with Triangle Cellos. They project and have a detailed and warm presence.  
Sean Casper Amps
Idk, but Audiogon member Gwilson sold one back in August and he was the original owner. Maybe contact him? 
Am I too big of a jerk,even for audiogon?
You help maintain the flow and the interaction. I've never seen you as jerky; contentious, maybe. But not a jerk.  
Better sound from youtube?
Edit: the OP was voice-to-text: thus the weird syntax and such. I swear I wasn't drinking.  
Did Someone mention Music without words
Cool! Thanks for the heads-up 
...bookshelf speakers that sound good at low volume...
Triangle monitors image well and are beautifully transparent at low volumes
