KEF 102 center speaker

I posted this query on Speaker Asylum as well:

I'm currently using a KEF 200C with a pair of KEF Reference 104.2s, all crossed at 80 Hz to a Velodyne HGS-15 with SMS-1 DRE. I wonder if a 70's vintage KEF 102 might be a better match with the 104.2s, because both use similar dome tweeters whereas the 200 C uses a Uni-Q. Anyone able to advise on this?

Thanks for the advice, Loomisjohnson. I bought two pairs of mint KEF Reference 102s, and have replaced the KEF 200C with one of the speakers. The 102 is indeed a better match with the 104.2s. The soundstage in 5.1 is now seamless, whereas music seemed uneven across the soundstage with the 200C. I plan to use the other 102s as surrounds.
