I have B&W 801's and want to add a B&W center

channel. I plan to use B&W CM for the rear channels. The system is powered by ML 333 and ML 433. What center channel speaker should I use?

A better solution would be to get a pair of 804 or 805's and put one on each side of the screen. The center channel just like a mono recording so you'll get a center image right in the middle of your screen.
