B&W Center for Rogers LS7?

[hotwheels]

Hello,
After a long time I have decided to try to work around what I have always thought was a living room that was just not well suited to sound or HT. My spouse has wanted HT for a few years, so we bought a 37" LCD and she brought home a Rotel 1056 the other day. We hooked it up to L&R Rogers LS7s and used Celing B&W CCM80's as the rear sourrounds. She was almost happy.

We auditioned 703,704, and 705s but the sales person encouraged us to listen to the Rogers with our setup and maybe acquire a center channel and sub.

I realize the center should "match" the sub, but I like the sound of the Rogers for music and they sound ok too for the HT setup with our B&W celings. What B&W center might be a match for the Rogers?

Thanks for any ideas.

Hotwheels,

Why net get the dealer to sell you a 3rd Rogers LS7 for a centre - they are available in singles from the UK supplier if you ask nicely..

Alternatively - buy a second pair and use the extra for the 6th channel (centre rear)

Thanks Geoff,
I have not looked too hard here in the States, but some casual browsing indicated the LS7 is not common. It is a good idea to use a thrid one as a center channel, but I am not sure the space will allow it. I am going to search for a sub first and then look later for the center.
Thanks!

Hotwheels,

Otherwise try the HTM7 (from the 700 Series) or the HTM4S (from the 800 series) - they (especially the HTM4S) will be somewhat of a match - but an expensive one!
