choosing a center channel

Hi folks. I would like to upgrade my center channel speaker. I use the same room for 2ch and htr.
I know that the best choice is to buy the center that matches the l&r but I have some audio physic scorpios and the center is expensive and I rarely see them used.
I’d like advice on a center that is on the warmer side of neutral. It would be for movie dialogue and not multi channel audio so my guess is that the match need not be perfect. I’d also like to keep the price under 2k.

Thx!

If music were the driver, an identical speaker, as suggested by Kal, is the way to go. I say go all the way...surround speakers also.

However, if it is just for dialog in movies, a speaker optimized for dialog is best. Such a speaker will have limited and non-flat frequency response.
