looking for paradigm center channel speaker

[rooster.pa]

I'm looking to expand my home theater by adding a center channel/surround speakers/receiver.

My current speakers include:
paradigm mini mark II (front)
paradigm PS 800 sub

I was thinking of adding the paradigm CC 170 or CC270. Not looking to spend a lot of money, so leaning toward the 170.

For surround speakers, was thinking of the paradigm cinema 70 or 90's.

Any recommendations? People talk about matching the center channel to the other speakers. Would the CC 170 work with the small mini-mark II's?

My room is 15 X 20. I would also be interested in buying a receiver with 5.1 dolby. Thinking of the onkyo TX-SR303. Thoughts?

Paradigm upgrade

Since you current fronts are small, consider upgrading the fronts to Atoms, Paradigm mini monitors or other bookshelf speakers and use the current fronts as surrouds. Buy the center channel that will match the fronts. Check Audiogon.com for some slightly used speakers or check your dealer for a used or demo pair for a better price.

None of the current centers will match those Minis as they are fairly old, so I would agree with jcPanny - consider just buying a whole new front set and drop those guys out back as surrounds.
