Need a new center channel speaker

Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I'm moving and I've decided not to rip out my current HT center speaker from the wall because I believe to repair the wall is not cost effective and repainting might not match well enough, increasing the trouble more.

I have all Thiel speakers which are 4 ohm driven by a NAD receiver. I'm thinking I should keep the center 4 ohm also for consistent load. Martin Logan has a ElectoMotion IW in- wall model thar looks like it might fit the bill nicely. My low voltage provider for the new house build represents Definative Technologies and has similar cost options. That brand is all 8 ohm rated.

Anyone have opinions on these options and the topic of mixing the ohm load on the one speaker? I'm open to other ideas as well.
