The Polk tradition of unbeatable value reigns on... June 20, 2007

Go ahead, find a center channel for the same price that even comes close to the sound of the CSi3. I dare you.
When paired with a good mid-line or better receiver (my own is paired with a Yamaha RX-V557), this speaker will not let you down. During movies and video games, voices are incredibly natural. Between the silk-dome tweeter and the two drivers, this speaker can hit every frequency that human vocal chords are capable of producing; that's important for a center-channel.
Although I generally stick to stereo for most music, unless it's encoded properly for surround, this speaker will also impress during your favourite tunes. Don't expect much in the lower frequencies, but mid and highs-will be as accurate as you can imagine.
Finally, though to me, this is one of those superficial qualities, the case design allows the user to place the center below his or her television, pointed up at the user. This adds another measure of flexibility, although the fact that polk doesn't use this design in their top-line LSiC might point toward how the company really feels about such a speaker arrangement.
All-in-all, you can't go wrong with the CSi3. The average listener will be blown away, and audiophiles will be impressed with such performance at this price point. I know that I certainly am.

This center speaker for the price is fantastic. The voices are very crisp and it sounds great with a dts/dolby digital receiver. I love this center speaker makes my surround sound system intense! POLK AUDIO did a great job. I even got the cheap r30 front speakers and it eally added what I was looking for. My neighbors hate them but it is worth it! Ha!

This is the 1st center channel and it really made a big difference at home. It is set up to work above or below you TV just by flipping it upside down. The voice and crisp highs can now be appreciated. At its price and paired up with the rti6's and fxi a4's and psw505 all from amazon, I got a great set up at a great deal. I payed half of what it would cost me at a retail shop and shipping is quick. Thanks Amazon.

I am very pleased with the sound quality from this speaker. I replaced an Infinity and the difference is very noticable. Clarity of speach is excellent and it reproduces music very well. It is a fairly large speaker, so be sure you have room for it.

I did a lot of research into a product for a media room before settling on the CSi3 with the PSW404 Subwoofer to match up with an Onkyo TXSR605 deck and leftover bose acoustimass speakers and a Samsung 120Hz 46" LCD. I am very satisfied with all of them and sourced all through Amazon. The voices are amazing and has the right punch in a 16'x27'theater room. Shippin was fast although the CSi3 was backordered it shipped in well enough time to get set up together and all compliment each other well. The TV still makes me weep how nice it is for sports and movies. Would definately recommend all of the above componenets for the sport-videophile on a budget. I have seen set ups that are 3-5x the cost that do no look or work as nice. great feedback from people out there did not steer me wrong. Good advice on the bargain HDMI cables as well as they work just as well for $6 dollars as the $80 cable I have through test. If there is a difference I need a warranty on my LASIK instead.
