Default Matching a center to a pair of 802Ns?

As the signature shows, we have a pair of 802Ns and a pair 805Ns. After many a "quiet year" in a condo environment, we're playing catch up as we [slowly] try to set up an entertainment room in our new house.

As a poster on another AAF thread suggested, we've been trying to find the right Nautilus line speaker to go with our 802Ns, but, considering the Mrs' taste, it hasn't been easy to find one that's in great shape and that "goes with" the red cherry finish we have...which leads me to my questions:

If we can't find an HTM-1 that works for both of us, what would you be looking for?

Is it a big issue to match a center from another brand to Nautilus fronts?

Please bear in mind that we've never owned a center. Thank you for your time.
