A Steal February 17, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've been building a budget home theater system for a small-ish room and the center channel was the last piece I needed to buy. I was trying to find a center for under 250 but couldn't seem to find anything that really satisfied my requirements or fit with the rest of my system. Well, I heard this speaker at a local retail chain and it blew my wife and I away and we knew this was the speaker that would compliment our build. The speaker was on clearance, but it had some minor damage so we passed on it hoping to find it for around the same price.
Thank God for [...]
We found the speaker for cheaper than the clearance price and we were right. It's not only a beautiful speaker but it sounds wonderful as well. Voices are crystal clear, but are also rich and full. When watching movies with this speaker really adds a depth that many other speakers in the price range I was looking in really didn't have. I guess that this proves (to an extent) that you get what you pay for. If i had spent full price on this speaker I would not have been disappointed.
I whole-heartedly recommend this speaker to anyone in need of a new center channel.
Our home theater is as follows:
Receiver: Harman Kardon AVR-146
Center Channel: Polk CSi3
Front L/R: Sony SSF-7000
Rear L/R: Speakers salvaged from our old Sony HT-6800DP system
Subwoofer: Velodyne VRP 1200
Awesome center... March 20, 2008

I had purchased a couple of Polk Audio R50 floor speakers from a major retailer...the speakers were fairly nice, but I wanted to boost the sound a little (especially for theatre options), so I added this center. I know it is not specifically matched to the R50's, but it sounds very good with them and actually makes them sound better....crisp highs, but still sounds rich. I also use a subwoofer with the system which makes a huge difference. I will say this is not a main application...I use this system in my master bedroom which is about 15 x 20 and it gives me all the sound I would want out of a secondary setup. I have it coupled with a 50" Vizio Plasma and the speakers are driven by an Onkyo 605...and the sound is really amazing for the money I have in the system. I have owned several Polk speakers over the years and I feel they offer one of the best values on the market in the speaker arena.

These speakers sound great and look good as well. I think I received an open box item from Crutchfield, other than that everything else is really awesome - especially for the price.
Polk Audio CSi3 Center Channel Speaker March 29, 2008

Polk Audio CSi3 Center Channel Speaker (Cherry)
In 1989 I was in the position to purchase an upper end stereo system. Well what I thought was an upper end anyway. Alma Stereo and Hi-Fi in Farmington Hills MI carried better electronic products than the locations that also had washers, driers and stoves. This is where I became hooked on Polk Audio. After standing in front of what seemed like a bazillion speakers (some I could afford and others not) I narrowed it down to the Polk monitor series JR5. Then of course came the rest of the package; tuner amp, turntable, cassette recorder/player (no CDs yet).
I packed it all up and was in hog heaven with sound for years. Then it happened the, speakers blew, or so I thought. It turned out to be the amps main channels not the JR5s. This started the rebuilding of my stereo system. I went on a buying frenzy the included Polk Li7s, Yamaha RX-N600 & the Polk Audio CSi3. Since the Jr5s were just fine I am once again in hog heaven. The CSi3 was not a disappointment, delivering wonderful sound in any genre. That it's made in USA is a plus. Music or block buster movies it handles them both with no problem. If you can find the deal as I did from J&R Music and Computer World you will be very happy.

I used to have the Bose speakers which I used as the center channel also. I was never happy with the sound quality. Recently I upgraded my HT system and decided to change my speakers. This center speaker has a great crisp sound, and definetly enhances the Surround sound.. Highly recommend it.
