Center channel with T15 front L/R

Hello,
I am in the process of slowly upgrading my home theater speakers from a cheap home theater in a box setup. I recently picked up a pair of T15's to replace my front left and right channels and now looking for a center channel. Naturally, I was considering the T30 since all of the T series should be timbre matched. When I was looking at the specs I noticed the T15's are 8 ohms and the T30 is 6 ohms. Will this affect the matching characteristics? My receiver recommends 8 ohm speakers.
I understand the more common setup would be to use the T50's as the front left and right channels and the T15's for the rears. I may pick up a set of T50's in the future but the T15's sound good enough for now and are a tremendous improvement over what I had previously.
I also found a TSx150C on craigslist for $50 that I was considering grabbing since it is cheaper than buying a new T30 and is a better speaker but concerned about the mismatching series of speakers.
I appreciate any guidance on whether I should go with a T30 for matching purposes or would the TSx150C be the better choice even though it may not match the T15's? Would the difference in resistance values between the T15's and T30 make them not match anyways?

If you can fit, go for another T15. Buy a pair and use one as center channel for now. Later re-use the pair for surrounds or zone 2 or wherever.

T30s will definitely sound great with the T15. They were designed to match acoustically. I've listened to a 5.1 system with T50 fronts, T15 rears, and T30 center and heard no acoustic anomalies across the range. Everything blended.

I have a Pioneer Elite VSX-LSX101 and I matched it with T30 Center, T50 Pair for FL&FR, and T15's for SR,SL, and PSW108 Sub. Sofar I liked it. I called Pioneer, and they said the setup is good but the F-L&R, and Center are underpowered. As the receiver can send 140W@6Ohms, the speakers are only 60hms-100Watts. Do you suggest that I should change T30 &T15's. BTW, the room size 20x24.
