In an ideal surround sound system, all of the speakers would be the same (matched) in size and sound. Adding another speaker to the most important center channel would probably sound much worse and could potentially cancel out some of the center channel sound and may make dialog unintelligible.

I am assuming you will be connecting the video via component which looks just as good as HDMI.
