I recently started my Hi-Fi journey, I started with a Insignia Receiver, and Sony SS-CS5 Bookshelf speakers. I'm pretty blown away with the set up and the audio quality sounds stellar. To keep it in the Sony family of speakers, I want to add to the set-up but here's my problem: my receiver has only A & B inputs for speakers, so I can only choose one or the other: Center Speaker or Subwoofer.

From what I can tell, the Center speaker is best for dialogue or movies, which I'm not running off of since I'm only using the set-up for audio only. To add to that, this set-up is in my bedroom, not a home theater, so the actual room space is pretty small and I'm pretty up close to the speaker set-up overall. So do I even bother with a Center speaker or is it unnecessary and just go for a Subwoofer since I'm only using it for audio?

Subwoofer. And welcome to Head Fi!

For strictly music. Subwoofer. Center is usually for movies. Make sure your sub integrates well with your speakers. I myself have hard time doing that as it seems to be somewhat complex and requires patience.
