I have an 5.1.2 system with RP-28F front, R-25C center,R14-s sorrund, R12-SW sub, RP-140SA. 
I'm thinking about to replace the center with an RP-450C. 
What do You suggest? 
It'll be good or it's to large to the front RP-28F speakers? 
Thank You in advance

In my book, there is no such thing as a front-center speaker that is too large,

especially if you listen to 5 channel music. There is mucho music that

comes through the center so it's best to get the best center you can afford.

Even with TV and movies much more come through other than talking.

More--like with Geico.

Issues with center channels are typically room related. 

Putting in a bigger channel can by brute force add some dbs and presence but it doesn't solve the room issues.

 

If the center channel sounds weak, turn it up a few dbs, it's that simple. 

Installing a larger center channel will just add the same dbs.

Now if the quality of that center is better, that is another issue -- and a real issue.  

 

If the quality of your center channel bothers you, consider upgrading all 3 front speakers to another line.

Because changing just the center will sound better, perhaps, but not match your other 2 front speakers.

 

That's my 2c. 

 

I very much disagree with the 99% who all say just buy the biggest center channel

 

When all 3 front speakers are the same, it is not louder or clearer.   It is seamless.

Louder and clearer are controlled by the room and the output of the speaker.

Since the speaker you currently use has plenty more output, then the only benefit of an upgrade is sound QUALITY.

And if you change your center (which I think you would like)...you also should then change your other 2 front speakers.
