In moves, I find there is so much that comes from the center channel. If not driven correctly, even with matched amps, I find the center channel may seem lower then the mains, even though mine are matched at the sound levels.

I am using a 9B Cubed for the center(Sonus Faber Cremona)and surrounds, while using 28B Cubed to drive the front left and right(TAD CR-1’s) and I am very happy with the results. I haven’t ever given a thought to changing out the center channel amp.
