Good center/surround choice to match SDA 2.3's

I am enjoying my SDA 2.3's, but I dont have a large enough house to have dedicated music and HT systems, so I need to expand with what space I have. What are some good solutions for surround and center channel speakers that similarly match the voice of the SDA speakers? I was considering a pair of SDA CRS (two tweet style) and get another pair and use a single for center. I had also read on the forum that the Monitor 5jr+ was a similarly voiced loudspeaker choice. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
SDA SRS 3.1TL, Adcom GFP710 (preamp), GFA5400 amplifier, Pro-Ject TT
SDA SRS (circa 1988), Integra DHC 60.3 (HT preamp) Adcom GFA555 II, CS400i (center), Monitor 4.6 II (rears) Adcom GFA2535 & Oppo BDP-103, TCL 55R617 55" 4K Display, RTA 15TL (crossovers by VR3), Adcom GFP710 pre & GFA545 II amplifier, NAD C545BEE. AppleTV 4K
Other Polks not in service currently; SDA2a, SDA CRS+, SDA SRS 2.3, Monitor 4.6 II, Monitor 5jr+

    I would try to find some vintage monitor series for the rears ( 5's, 7's,10's) , that would match pretty well since most of them use the SL-2000 tweet.

    As far as a center goes, others will chime in on which center is a good fit from the polk line... I used an SDA CRS (two tweets) for a center at one point and it sounded fine. However, its not designed for that and I'm sure there is a better option out there.

    +1 on the CSiA6. I've used it with SDA2A's SDA2B's, and SRS2's. It's a really great center. Also, you might give Customer Service at Polk Audio a call. They gave me the CSiA6 recommendation for use with the SDA2B's.
