If you click the little green house above this post and scroll down you can see my bedroom home theater. Here's a picture:

Ha ha already out of date, the DVD player is a Proscan 8680Z DIVX machine now.
In my living room I've got a stereo only system that I use for "dinner music" and very casual, distinctly uncritical listening. That system has a pair of Wharfedale Modus 1.6 tower speakers. I've decided that since the bedroom theater gets used 30 times as much as the dinner music system, I'm going to move the Wharfedale speakers up to the bedroom. They're not any great speakers or anything, but they are surely much better than the Sonys in the bedroom now.
I was thinking of replacing the drivers in the Pioneer center channel speaker you see in this picture with some higher quality drivers from Parts Express. The center cost me $12 years ago "refurbished" (though I don't think it was really "refurbished" at all). It has a 4" woofer and a small 1.5" paper tweeter. I was thinking an upgrade could make it a lot better (though I have very little to complain about now - it's a good enough sounding speaker for what I'm using it for) for just $20-30.
Any suggestions?
