I love the OM-9s & the OM-C2, but I'm not impressed by the transition between the OM-9 & the OM-C2. I hear a tonal difference. And it's for this reason that I rather go with the OMD-5s for all channels instead of the OMD-15 and OMD-C1. They use different drivers and different crossovers, so I expect that there will be a tonal difference between the two regardless of how subtle it may be. The fronts should be identical for absolute sound integrity between the front channels.I also believe the OMD-5 will not work well as a centre channel with the OMD-15 because of the dynamic characteristics of the speakers. One is a small bookshelf speaker while the other is a floorstanding model. However, the OMD-5 should sound better the the OMD-C1 because it shares the same drivers and crossover as the OMD-15 except for the second woofer's crossover.
I also don't like woofer/tweeter/woofer centre channel speakers for the suck-out that occurs off axis, i.e. couch ends. The suck-out is in the critical mid-range and affects voice intelligibility. Frankly, I consider such speakers to be a poor design for centre-channel speakers. Ask yourself, why do most of the expensive centre channel speakers have a tweeter/mid-range and woofer(s) set up or have the woofers with different crossovers that don't overlap the critical midrange area. When set up vertically the woofer/tweeter/woofer speakers work to limit vertical dispersion, but that's not necessarily what one wants in a speaker set up horizontally.
Just my two cents worth from someone without any speaker design credentials.
