Funny, in an odd way, you mentioned Paradigm. My main speakers are Sopra 2s. I use a Paradigm Prestige 55c as a center channel. I don't see any need to change it. It works perfectly for my needs and the lack of matching (which I doubt I would ever perceive if I tried) just isn't material for me. TV and movie viewing just isn't a high priority compared to music.
I tried phantom in the past and I found I was constantly changing the volume to hear the dialogue better. I now run a Marantz SR7013 for HT, and have an integrated with HT bypass for music listening. The Sopra's are a beautiful speaker and I assume you have an integrated for 2-channel. IMO, they are overkill for just HT use.
