My suggestion:, either get another Joseph audio speaker for the center(not my first choice however) or, better yet, forget the idea of trying to use your Joseph audio's as part of the surround system and get 5/6/7 MATCHING DEDICATED HOME THEATER SPEAKERS for your movies!!!!....INIFINITELY BETTER! So so many audiophiles, who love their nice laid back, open, airy, polite, delicate sounding music speakers so much, try to put other speakers into their systems to make surround sound...NEVER WORKS REALLY!!!! Just take a quick look at what ALL, that's right ALL, the stereo magazine writers do, which is have 2 SEPARATE SYSTEMS(one for music, one for HT)!...instead of having poorly compromised single systems!
You would do much much better by investing in FAR LESS EXPENSIVE, YET MORE EFFECTIVE dedicated HT designed speakers, which will all match coherently, build a believable seameless soundstage, and will maximize the attributes that you want from a good movie mix/soundtrack! Anything else, even using the best audiphile grade music speakers money can buy, will not work well! DON'T TRY TO REINVENT THE WHEEL HERE! ALL, YES ALL, the best audio mag reviewers agree that you should be using dedicated HT designed speaker systems for movies...so why fix it if it ain't broken!??? You will NEVER build a believable soundstage which is seamless and tonally matched across the front using mismatched "close" sounding speakers!...your ear is too good to be fooled.
You could easily pick up a very very affordable set of wall mountable sealed box dedicated HT speakers in something like the fantastic, hard to beat, excellent, coherent and dynamic M&K K7's for your HT system, mounted up and out of the way, which will cost you less than $600 used for all 5($1250 new), which will give you fantastic DD/DTS movie playback, while leaving your fav audiophile speakers on the floor for music! Why try to find the perfect(not possible) center channel match for your Joseph's, and mismatched rears, which will not sound very good...and cause you to likely spend too much money for nothting! ...SEPARATE THE TWO SYSTEMS IN THE SAME ROOM IF YOU MUST, RATHER THAN BRINGING DOWN THE INTEGRITY OF BOTH SYSTEMS!
Hey if you don't agree with this thining just yet, just email your audio mag writers at their websites and ask em what they think!..they'll tell you much the same basically.
