Ok, so this isnt ~just~ about the center channel, but thats what I was thinking of when I started writing the post...

I'm getting closer to actually making a purchase. Christmas Bonus actually arrives in February for me and I'm trying to figure out plans.

I've figured out what I'm getting if Bonus sucks.
I've figured out what I'm getting if Bonus blows my mind.

Where I'm having issues is the middle ground so I'm asking for your opinions here. Given my low-end and high-end below, which componants would you guys upgrade if you could only choose one? How about two?

Suck Bonus:
- Denon 1709 (80W / ch)
- M2s
- VP100
- QS4
- Outlaw LFM-1 Compact

Mind Bending Bonus
- Denon 2309 (100W / ch)
- M22s
- VP150
- QS8s
- Outlaw LFM 1 EX

My room is approximately 10x20x9, but the listening area is about half that at approx 10x10x9

Opinions appreciated
