If your goal is a pair of 8Ks then, providing you have space and funds, I would consider nothing less than a 7200HC for a centre.
It matches the 8ks well and has enough power to keep up with them.

I can only agree with this, going for a center smaller than 5500HC to your D6k's is really detrimental to both Trifield and movies.

I can also attest to going for 7200HC center if your goal is DSP8k's L/R.
