This must be the most expensive hobby going and I'm only a noob On the bright side, getting closer to true 5.1 every day

And once you got the 5.1 setup, then next, if not already, you'll be longing to know what those 7.1 BDs sound like. Time to upgrade to 7.1! It never ends.

However, I do recommend investing in the best speakers you can afford. They are the most future proof components in your system and will last up to 20 to 30 years or longer. When you buy a center channel speaker, make sure it matches the left and right fronts. If you have say the Polk rti a9s as fronts, for example, get the CSI A6 center. It'll then be timbre matched to the main front speakers.
