Would upgrading the centre to a Kef Q200c make a 'big' difference?

Currently got the Kef 2005.3 5.1 setup. Recently moved house and the living room is much bigger, so I've just purchased a pair of Kef Q500's for the left and right and wondered if upgrading the centre channel to the Q200c would make a big difference?

RE:

As you now have Q500's, a Q200c will definitely make a big difference. The centre channel is the most important speaker in the whole system, and will carry the majority of what you will hear.

Can't wait

Can't wait to get the Q500's next week. I take it your happy with yours? Do they take long to run in?

Still working on the wife re the Q200c, kef have 20% off at the minute seems like a good time to upgrade to me. But also a bit tight for space on the av stand, and don't really want to put the tv on top on the centre if I can help it.

RE:

Sorry for delay in replying....been an NHS inmate at my local hospital for 7 days unexpectedly!!!

The Q500's are great....but need some time to run in. I use silver based speaker cable, but others prefer copper based one's, so once run in try both if you can.

20% off is a great deal....I had same deal when I got mine.
