Help me match Monitor 45 with Center

Hello,
New to the forums but looking for some advice.
Just finished my basement and realized that my old faithful 6750 set is not cutting it.
I installed in ceiling and in wall KEF CI150SR for surround and rear, and just purchased Monitor 45 for my new fronts and want to match the center. I realize the 15C seems to be the best choice for these fronts but not sure if i will upgrade those to full towers someday and should i look for the 25C?
Is there any other center one would recommend?
Just for some background, for those saying "use your ears" i can honestly say i probably wont know the difference. I know my current center and fronts from the 6750 sound too low or soft for the rears which i have to turn down through the amp. I figure the Monitor 45s would help this and now just looking for a good center, one that will satisfy me and will give me a noticeble upgrade over the 6750 center. I am not overly picky to be honest.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Paul

You can choose just about any of the monitor centers for your 45s. The 1 and 2c,the 10 and 20c, or the 15 and 25c. All these centers should be a timbre match for your 45s. My suggestion and I'm sure others would agree would be to get the biggest you can. IE: 2,20,or 25.

The CS20, CS2 and 25c seem to be impossible to find at a decent price. I'll be patient then.
Thanks for the help.
