Recommendation for small footprint Center channel?

No disrespect, but that is not the route he wishes to go.
From my experience of actually having a 5.1 system that uses my high end two channel preamp and speakers for L/R-even I want and have a center (RBH 661).

It makes a big difference as a dedicated center does most of the work in movies.

Why do you need a center? If your L-R speakers can generate a decent center image, you might be able to get away without one. Most AV processors have a "phantom" center setting. I have to say I am mostly a two channel guy, so my bias might allow me to live without one.

Appreciate the info-likely out of his price range but I will check.

Shameless plug: I have a Gallo Due for sale and it IS a fantastic center channel speaker - $350. Contact me off-list...

Gallo Due, sounds great too.
