He needs to buy the center channel that matches his front speakers (brand/model) to get the "best", most even sound.
Since you didn't post what fronts he has, there's not much else we can do to advise him.
Good luck

That's a tough call. If they sound good and are pretty solid built and able to handle some intense 5.1 sounddtracks, then I'd say keep them and just buy a Technics center and enjoy his system.
If they are kinda crappy and don't look like they'll survive some heavy use, I'd think about finding some new fronts and center.

I recently sent a pair of 30 yr Advents and a pair of 15+ yr old Fishers to my speaker guy for possible repair. I thought they sounded alright - until my new replacements arrived.
