Dead advice on high end stereo/HT mix

I own Thiel 3.6s, Krell KSA200s and want to blend in a cheaper 5 channels system. Here are my questions..
1. What center channel speaker(less then $350) would best blend with the Thiels? Clearly Thiels are too expensive.
2. I'd like to get a Sony TA-E9000ES and a 3 channel or 5 channel amp plus two rear speakers all for less then $3K...what? The Sony would be hooked up/through my Sonic Frontiers Line 3 for the fronts. I'm not dead set on the Sony but it has gotten good reviews.

Keis,

If you are looking for a dedicated home theater preamp, there is no better unit or value than the Lexicon DC-1.
These can be had preowned in the $1,000-1,400 range.
You will not find better processing than this for the price.
I would actually make the challenge that 99% of people will not hear the difference between the DC-1 and ANY 'better' unit when talking/listening specifically to Home Theater surround.

This leaves you with $2K for an amp, center, and surrounds!!

Give it a look/listen!
