All right. Thanks again for all the help!

Thank-you again. If I did want to stick with the Best Buy speakers, however, would any particular center speaker be a better match besides the R-25C? Also, they do have a subwoofer on sale too - it's the R-12SW.

Thank-you for the reply. I did not realize that Klipsch had specials going on, so thank-you very much for that! Given that you feel these are much better speakers, and the price difference isn't too much, I will absolutely consider this. One thing I'm confused about is why I might have to "dial it back". What does that mean? And what would influence my decision to do so? Also, I notice you didn't recommend a different sub woofer. Is that on purpose?

I'm building a home theater for a smallish office room (12ft X 16ft), and I'm looking for advice on speakers. The home theater will be used primarily for console gaming, much more rarely for movies, and pretty much never for music. I will generally have the door closed. I am definitely not an audiophile, but I went to a local store and listened to a few speakers and decided the Klipsch ones sounded the best. I don't remember exactly which one I listened to, but they sounded significantly better than the Polk Audio TL1600 system I have in another part of the house. I've been pretty pleased with the Polk system, except that sometimes the dialog can be pretty difficult to hear unless I turn the volume up... and then any non-dialog sounds are WAY too loud. I'm posting in this forum because Best Buy is having a Black Friday sale where I can get R-28F front speakers, R-15M rears, and an R-12SW subwoofer for half off. The only thing that is missing is a center. I know that this set technically "pairs" with the R-25C. However, given my problems in my other Polk setup with dialog - I thought it might be a better idea to get an upgraded center speaker. Can anyone recommend a center channel speaker that would go well with the set?
