Default Sub or Center Channel Speaker

what should I buy next???

I have a Bic America F12 right now and I am debating if I should get another one of those first or if I should get the PSB Image C5 Center Speaker.

You can see my set up right now in my most recent pic!

I would go for the center first since you already have one sub.

[Show spoiler]
I'd start with a stand for your right channel

Are you in a condo? Hard to tell from your picture but if you are limited in the volume you use I'd probably go centre channel as you benefit from the extra clarity that may offer... If you can crank it I'd probably add a second sub for more base and live with the phantom centre a little longer?

Go with the center and if you can swing it, go for some stands. You can go DIY or find something that looks good and is relatively inexpensive used or new. Once you have your center channel and your stands. You can widen out the front sound stage and place your sub in what ever you feel is the best place. You will find that you have a fuller sense of the sound.

Center channel and a pair of stands for sure. You will notice that dialogue sounds clearer (having its own speaker), panning effects will be improved, and the soundstage will seem larger. Buy or build a pair of stands for your fronts to get them up at ear level.
