What to do with CSi25?

Newby here. First post, many weeks of leeching. First foray into A/V. Many mistakes. Need help.
I have RTi6's for fronts, Csi25 for center, R15 for surrounds. I will upgrade the R15's with Fxi5's and the center with a Csi5. Wife & I will be living in this apt for 3 years due to job situations (long story). Living room is basically one long common area that includes living and dining room all in one. Will upgrade RTi6's with RTi8's or 10's once we purchase a house and will move the 6's to the rear. Can't decide whether I like the 8's or the 10's. No subs because of an infant and toddler below us although their extended family enjoy yacking outside at the top of their longs at 2AM on a weeknight but I don't have the heart to crank Chow Yun-Fat's Hard Boiled Killer (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081778/) in reprisal. Not yet, anyway. Receiver = Yamaha HTR 5760. 60% HTR/ 40% Music. I like bright but not too bright. Clarity over heavy bass. Prefer 2 channel music listening over surround.
Question. What should I do with the Csi25? Move them to the rear center instead of the 6's? Sell them? They're not bad considering our little 1300 sq ft apt.
Will pickup HK3480 for 2 channel music listening in my office (BD gift from wife coming in May).
I know. Fxi5 are overkill but I'm thinking 3 years down the road. Maybe I should just go in a holding pattern and save up money until I know what the house will look like?
All comments appreciated. I've learned alot on this forum.
Thx!

Not Hard Boiled Killer. I meant Hard Boiled. Chow Yun-Fat. John Woo directing. http://www.hkcinema.co.uk/Reviews/hardboiled.html
Highly recommended but make sure the kids are not at home. I also like The Killer but the love story in it is hard to stomach.

I'm in Texas.
Looking back at my post, I wasn't very clear. Has anybody used a Csi5 up front and a Csi3 for the rear center?
