The best sonic match is a DSP5500HC. However incorporating one in a system raises a number of issues:
Physical size Weight Will your furniture handle it Logistics
A 5000C, 5200HC and 5500HC have the same tweeter.
I always suggest for movies the biggest and baddest center presents the most impressive performance. If the above listed points are ok with you, 24/96 5500HC's tend to be pretty cheap given the performance gains.
Obviously a 5200SEHC or 5200.2 center will have a different sound than a 5000C or legacy 5200HC. A 5200SL will not sound much different (if at all) than the legacy 5200HC.
