Hi everyone, I have an old set of Polk LS 50's that were given to me a little while ago and I was trying to find a good center channel to match with them. My research so far has led me to the cs350ls but I cannot seem to find one on eBay or anywhere. Is there something more modern that would match closely? I'm currently without a center speaker and the ls50s have a hard time with movies by themselves so I'm hoping to find something close enough to fill that gap. I saw the CS10 is pretty easy to come by but wasn't sure if it would match up well at all. Thanks for any help!

    CS350 's come up often for sale. That's your best match. CS400 and 400i would be a second choice.

    ^^ What Ken Said. The 350, even though it's an older speaker, is going to be tough to beat. They do pop up for sale quite a bit.

    The cs400/400i has a very similar tweeter so it should be a solid choice if you can't find the cs350, and they come up regularly on ebay. But with a little patience you can find the cs350...
