Alright so I have a surround sound setup going but I need some help from like an audio pro or someone that can give me a tip. You see for xmas im gonna get like 200 bux so I gotta decide if I should buy a reciever or a center channel speaker. Heres the setup, please do take time to look at this because I'm dead set on this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/POLK-AUDIO-PSW25... 300052776235 thats my subwoofer

http://cgi.ebay.com/Matched-Pair-JBL...QQcmdZViewItem my 2 fronts

I have 2 acoustic rears but i cant seem to find them online. their model 103 and in the front it says Acoustics. they seem to be bookshelf speakers but anyways I use these as my 2 rears

my center speaker is the thing im worrying about but also the reciever, heres the center speaker

Edit: just looked at the center speaker... wow it sold for 9 bux lol
heres my reciever

If you're mainly interested in music, then the receiver is much more important. A center channel does nothing for standard stereo sources.

If you're going to listen to a lot of 5.1 sources (movies, or DVD-A or SACD) or force your amp to convert stereo into surround, then a center channel should be top priority. The center channel typically handles speech and vocals, so a good one makes a big difference for movies or lyrics from 5.1 music sources.
