I'm looking for a center speaker to match my Boston Acoustic VR-975 towers. How does one find a timber matching speaker?

    Typically you try to get something in the same series. If not then looks for something that has the same tonal quality. ie: Bright, harsh, detailed, subdued, etc

    The best/easiest thing to do is ask the cs department of the manufacturer. Otherwise, you would try to match the tweeters, lastly trial and error.

    The VR 975's had a matching center channel , I'd suggest a search for it. I don't recall off hand the model number. You can also call Boston Acoustics and find out if they have something offered today that would match correctly.
