Recommend a centre speaker to go with Dali Zensor 1s

I'm looking for a centre speaker to match the Dali Zensor 1s I recently bought, and wondered if any of you have a recommendation?

I realise the ideal/recommended approach would be the Dali Vokal, however it's a little too expensive, and more importantly I need something slightly smaller.

AV Rec is the Marantz NR1504.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Budget is upto about £170.

Could try posting on AVForums to see if anyone will go halfs on a new pair of Zensor 1s, or try and pick up a second hand pair.

Thanks - don't really want another zenzor 1, as that won't fit in my setup either. Really looking for a specific centre speaker (horizontal) but a bit smaller than the zali one.

I've posted a wanted add on av just in case I can find the zali vokal, but i still think it'll be a bit too large.

If you can't match up, I really wouldn't bother, it wont sound right at all. Check your AVR, it might have a ghost centre option.

Ah ok cheers. Had to chance my av yesterday, and thinking about it I've not yet run the external mic calibration. Sounds (especially voices) was not as good as the Pioneer I replaced, so maybe that will do it.
