Timbre match for Atrium speakers?

I messaged Polk CS about this 2 weeks ago and haven't heard back so thought someone here might have input.
I was using some Atrium 6's for Atmos ceiling speakers but moved across the country and sold most of my other speakers (brought the 2 pairs of Atriums with me as they were small/easy to ship/resilient to damage.
I'd like to relegate these to side and rear duty in a 7.1 setup, and was wondering if there was any other polk speakers that could hope to be a timbre match to these to use for my LCRs - but realize that the Atriums use a different tweeter (3/4 aluminum) and different cone materials than others in Polks line up. Any suggestions?
Match with another brand with similar sensitivity and tweeter or try to match with something with polk?

The sides and rears are mostly ambient sound, so timbre matching to the front 3 isn't necessary.Political Correctness'.........defined

I've read that often - and usually subscribe to it, however am not sure how Atmos changes that discussion overall. Still not a deal breaker I'm sure, but I'd still like to get somewhat close to the LCR if possible. Not the end of the world.

You stated you are going to, "relegate these to side and rear duty in a 7.1 setup", so what does Atmos have to do with anything!?!Political Correctness'.........defined

Dolby Atmos isn't just for sending sound to ceiling mounted speakers... see more here:
