I use to run DSP33 in a 5.1 DSP33/M33/D1500 scenario.

It was fine in that scenario but I don't think I would have wanted the DSP33C being centre for more capable L/R speakers.

That said, if you were happy with the 5000C, there may not be much difference other than bass between 5000C and DSP33C, so, without being familiar with your L/R speakers, you may be fine with it.
