Starting a 7.1 atmos and need advice

[JLawrence]

I recently moved to a home with a room large enough break out my pair of Polk SDA II's and enjoy again. I purchased Sony 1080 a/v receiver with 7.1 atmos and would like a recommendation for a center channel speaker to get started. I've searched quite a bit throughout this forum and realize I want to match something as well as possible. I also understand the polka are probably not the best speakers to use but I can afford them , enjoy the sound and want to keep them. I listen to music a lot ,watch sports mostly and movies rarely.
Thanks in advance.

This is not quite the right forum for this question. This is the classifieds section where people sell stuff. But anyway, there is no matching center channel for those speakers, so you might as well just go for something that performs well. One center speaker that I liked that I thought sounded fine was the Monoprice Air Motion center speaker. I think the Hsu CCB-8 also makes for a fine center too, and it doesn't have horizontally aligned drivers to cause lobing issues that traditional centers do. If you have room for it, you could also just use a regular bookshelf speaker as a center too. But you would want to use it standing up vertically, not sideways, unless it is a coaxial design like the Hsu CCB-8 or a KEF speaker.
