I'd try the VP180 if I were you (not sure what your other speakers are). It's a fantastic center channel, and if you don't like it you can just pay the shipping to send it back. IMO, if you are looking in the $6k used price range, you can easily afford the $50 or so to "rent" the speaker for a month to see if it's what you want.

I think you will be more than happy with it.
