Thanks everyone for your input. Scrappy, thanks for the offer on those RB-25's. So, my BEST option would be to go with those and pair them with a RP-250 or an RC series(RC-52 RC-25 or similar) it looks like. Those 25's can be wall mounted right. I have 2 little ones that would constantly be playing with them if not.
If I have to settle for cheapest way to improve what's your thoughts about the synergy C-2 or C-20. It would be an increase from .75 to 1" tweeter and 3.5" to 5.25" on the midrange and 75/300W to 100/400W on the power. Those both look like they'd be an improvement over the quintet center I have now and look to be pretty compatible. I suggested those because I see a lot of them available. What would be the max I should pay and what's the difference between those two? How about any good places to shop on line for used other than ebay?

Thanks Scrappy for the info on the R-25. I'm sure it's a good speaker and better than what I have but just like I was thinking the difference to go up to say the RP-250 is probably worth it. I'm definitely not looking to upgrade everything because that's just not in the budget now. I was just wondering if I got the 250 would it be "too much speaker" for the rest of the quintet III satellite speakers I currently have. Would the center channel just drown out everything else and it wouldn't sound right? I've been looking at other options and perhaps maybe a synergy C-2 or C-20 would work better with what I have(or even just finding a quintet series 5 center)? Just looking for opinions on what would work best.
The house we're moving into is definitely too big for the setup I have now but replacing all the speakers just isn't an option now so I'm trying to do what I can. Don't have exact measurements but the living room, dining room, and kitchen all all open to each other so it's a pretty big open space with all hardwood floors. Definitely watch more movies/tv than listen to music(which mainly do thru pandora on the roku). I'm upgrading from 37" to 58" 4K tv so thought a center channel upgrade would be nice. I live in the St Louis area 63129. Thanks for the advice.

New to the forum and not very savy when it comes to audio/home theater setup(savy enough to know klipsh is way to go though) so please forgive any stupid question or remark. First introduced to klipsh a long time ago when I purchased the 2.1 pro media computer speaker system. I now have the Quintet III series 5.1 with synergy sub-10 sub. Buying new house and upgrading tv to 58" 4K tv so I thought about maybe starting upgrade of surround sound starting with the center channel first. It's all connected to older yamaha RX-V463 AVR. I'm looking at upgrading to the R-25C but noticed that for not too much more I could get the RP-250C. I was just wondering if either of those would be "too much speaker" for the rest of the quintet satellite speakers and if so which center speaker would be a better option. Thanks in advance.

I ended up buying a KC-25 on amazon for $125. Looked but didn't see any RC-25's. I had $75 in gift cards from work so it only ended up costing me $50 so figured that was a pretty good deal. Scappy I sent you a personal message about maybe in the future taking those rb-25's off your hands you offered earlier.
Thanks so much everyone for your suggestions and recommendations. From what I could tell, the KC-25 seems like a pretty nice speaker and definitely better than my quintet center I have now.
One more question sort of on same topic. The new 4K tv I'm buying has the 4K up-scaling built into it. My receiver doesn't and won't for a while. So my best option is to connect everything directly to tv(has 5 hdmi ports) and run an optical digital cable for sound from tv to receiver. That way the tv will upscale the signal and I still get my surround sound right?
