Center pairing fow B&W 685 S2

[Jarmon]

I got a pair of 685 S2.. but having a really hard time to find a htm 61 or 62 S2 here in Sweden.

What other center could be second or third best ?

Have you tried running a phantom center? That's free and will match your mains!
all you do is tell your AVR that you don't have a center.
If your speakers are close enough and you sit broadly central then it can work well.

Almost all b&w center speakers are quite rare here in Sweden..

Don't know Swedish import laws. Why not drive across to another EU nation and get the HTM?
Not having any exposure to B&Ws, can't really recommend anything close to their timbre/sonics.

Wish it would be that simple.. But since diesel is so expensive its not worth it.. but maybe get it shipped would be ok. Have to check that out
