front/center speaker search

[barona]

I'm looking to upgrade my current configuration and wanted some input as to where to start. I'm currently running the following:
Rotel 1066
Carver 705, 5x120
Klipsch KG2.5 bookshelf fronts
Klipsch KV-2 center
Polk 715bipole/dipole surr.
Paradigm 1200 sub
I wanted to go to 7-channel by moving the Polks to the side and the Klipschs' to the rear. I know I need another amp, probably the Rotel 5-channel which would run the new fronts and maybe a couple multi-zone. What's a good speaker match under $3000.00?? I've read B&W but is there anything else?? Should I stick with Klipsch for timbre matching???

Are you planning on keeping the same center? If so, you'd be best served by staying with Klipsch.

Or, you could just budget in the price of a new center with your new L & R mains.

Do you want bookshelves or towers?

not sure about the center, let's say I'll trade it in for credit. And I'm looking for towers.
