Home music/theater setup

[Enjoiii]

Hello all, I’m new to home audio. I’m looking at purchasing floor standers / center channel for mainly music / home theater. (This will be powered by an onyko tx-rz50). Trying to keep the budget around $2500-3000 usd. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Zach

Here are the towers that I'd look into:
-KEF R5 (non-Meta)
-Revel F35, F36, F206
-Emotiva T2+, T3+

All of these brands offer matching 3-way center channels I believe.

Two towers that are slightly out of budget are the R5 Meta and Ascend Sierra Tower V2:

I recently purchased the Polk Audio ES60 floor standers. I am quite please with them. They are very good sounding music / home theater speakers in the more economical price range. Really fill the room with sound, and size - check the measurements before ordering!
