I don't have the room size you have, so I just took delivery of brand new A3 RX-Cs yesterday. I was looking at the A7s & the A5s, but Jon suggested I go with the A3s considering my room dimensions. Mine are strictly for music. I would love to have that wall of mids, but it wouldn't be practical. Good luck with the sale. Whoever gets them will be getting a fine pair of speakers.
Have you looked into the Chane A2 rx-c. It's a center channel that I imagine would be tailored to sound good with any of their towers. Email Jon & he can guide you in your decision.
My college budget setup that i just finished and am quite proud of. I've got a Teac TN-300 turntable and JBL XL-FZ158BK CD player going into a Cambridge Audio Topaz AM10 integrated amplifier with a built in phono stage. That's going into BIC America DV-62si speakers.
My 7.2 system. I use it for music as much as movies. Its not high-end stuff but I enjoy it. The mains and subs are on spikes. Mains are bi-wired.

Not a photo, but I made a 3D model of a music/audio room using Maya, for a 3D animation class that I took not long ago. Yeah I know the speakers are missing, ran out of time to build them—wanted to model something like the Monitor Audio Silver 6 that mikrosi has pictured up there. So my future speaker setup will ideally look something like this.
Wanted to ask speaker owners here, if you would ever trade a good speaker set up for totl headphones? Other than for the usual portability, neighbour is pissed etc. issues?

"Totl" HP's over a "good" speaker? Yes. No more stupid room modes and lot's of money left in the bank. But in an acoustically neutral room, and with plenty of $$$, speakers will always be king imo.
My rig for playing used records. Sounds very good to me and cost less than $300. Pioneer turntable pl115d, fisher cc9000 pre amp, Bellari tube phono pre amp, PSB alpha mini speakers, Sony RCD-w1 cdp and recorder, topping tp-21 amplifier.
I may try to record some records but haven't yet. Anyway, it's all secondhand gear, thrift store, eBay and swap meet. Psb speakers sitting on top of AR 4 speakers if anyone cares

I've moved like 6 times in the past 10 years, and I have at least 2 more coming up over the next 3 or so. What works in one house, not so much in another. Interestingly, I have never heard any speaker rig I've owned sound better than where they are right now.
Anyway, my Primes are always at their best. And so much cheaper than good speakers!
