2 channel setup - Should I add a center channel or $1500 subwoofer?


Hey everyone I just bought the B&W 702 s2 as a 2-channel start to an eventual home theater, but I only have another $1500 in my budget for right now. Should I add a matching center channel that runs at $1500 or use the money for a decent sub? If so what sub would integrate well with my speakers? Would the SVS SP-4000 be a good choice?

I have 2- pb 16 ultra svs after coming from 2-pb3000 , the differance  was not night and day , stick with pb3000's get the dual price and put on credit and get .02% back , there are a few times a year when they have crazy deals for pairs (new) , pb16 really not worth the xtra price ,the 3000's are the best bang for the buck hands down. Get the isolation feet and upgrade the power cables and your done. use the phantom center for all its worth until you get a decent center , and save some money and make your own Mogami speaker cables for a fraction of the price , I bought a track that wraps around my room with deadening curtains off amazon and I was shocked how that alone cleaned up the dialogue . reflections and echos will equal Muddy bass and unclear vocals even for a $1000 center. I've been to listening rooms where my system sounds better for a fraction for sure.
