I know this speakers came out 2008,well i got mines in 2010,they are best bang for the buck,after reading your review i have no problem with the center channel,for my setup im using sc-37 poineer receiver the soundfield is outstanding,now that best buy is selling them anybody can get them,do not buy entry level receiver thinking its going push this setup,my suggestion to use Marantz 7007,poineer sc67 or 68,Intergra 50-4 and up or Onkyo 3010 and up or seperates,feed the beast my friends.
