Is it worth it??

I will start out by telling my current HT set-up (used for 50% music and 50% movies/TV):
-Denon AVR-590
-TSi300 (L/R front)
-CS10 (Center)
-Monitor 40's (Rear)
-PSW505 (Subwoofer)

I am trying to decide if it is worth it to get a CS2 center speaker from newegg for $99 to replace the CS10. I do plan on selling the TSi's this summer and getting the Monitor 70's to replace them. So, do guys think it will be worth it to do the CS2 now? Open to anyother recommendations.

Will i notice better sound just by adding the CS2 w/out the 70's for now?

Thanks, Nick

    I would say so. The larger center is a key to HT. It would go well with what you have now and will also go well with the 70's. And for $99 you cant really go wrong.
    Front - RTiA5's
    Rear - RTiA3's
    Center - CSiA4
    Sub - PSW110

    Cool, thanks. I see you have the RTi line, can you compare those to the tsi's or monitors?

    Do you guys think the avr-590 will be good enough to get nice sound out of the m70's?

    They might sound good with standard power, but the Monitor 70s will gladly perform with all the wattage you can throw at them.
