I have had my EIIIs for about 9 years, and I have been equally happy with them. I'm using Snell's CR.5 center channel speaker, with K.5s for rear surround. If you're considering the CR.5, it has worked fairly well for me, but because of my tv and stand, I have it placed on the shelf under the television, and I don't think that's the best spot for it. I'm hoping to rewire soon and get it out of the enclosed space, because it makes the dialogue difficult to hear clearly at times. As a fellow EIII owner, I thought this might be helpful information for you. By the way, do you have the stands that Snell made for the EIIIs? Hope this helps a little bit.
