Pete, as I don't care for MTM centers, I'll again make my frequent suggestion of a vertical M2 for that use.

On the receiver, pick one with automatic room equalization, e.g. the new Denon 3805, the Pioneer 55TXi, or the Yamaha 2400. All of these have plenty of power for your use, so pick some other feature you like or flip a coin.
