RE: Center channel advice

I would keep with your current center channel, for best surround sound your center and all other speakers should be timbre matched. The Klipsch would sound quite different and you would no longer get seamless panning of sound effects.

If your receiver has auto speaker set up you should run that. If not, be sure your center is set in the menu to "small" which will send low frequencies to sub and should offer you a variety of crossover points. You could also try bumping the center volume up a dB or 2 to see if that helps. There is often a "night time" mode on receivers that limit the dynamic range, this makes the voices and sound effects at a more even volume and may help your issue.

Where is the center speaker placed? To be honest if none of the above suggestions help, based on the less than satisfactory performance of the center your mains are probably the same and could be time for new speakers all around.
