Polk CS-10 Center speakers with Klipsch Wf-35 Sides

kuchbhishri

Hi, I have Klipsch wf 35 icon series (sorry guys!) as my side speakers I am now looking for a center channel. After comparing a few center channels, now I have to choose between wc 24 or Polk cs 10. Frankly, I am inclined towards cs10 as they are priced better and have bigger woofers. But I am not sure if is better to have everything in klipsch? Or this Polk center channel will perform equally good with my klipsch sides? Please advice.

When you you mean side speakers,your talking about the front left and right correct?If so,your front 3 should be timbre matched.

Either buy the WC24 for the klipsch or start new with some polk's:)

Go with the WC-24.

Looking at the specs, the WC-24/WF-35 have a titanium tweeter and horn configuration vs the Polk's silk dome. Two very different sounds which will be noticeable.

Looks like I have to go with wc24 but I like
the quality of sound, size of woofers and pricing
better for cs 10.

Do guys think there will be major difference in power and quality
comparing a 4.5" woofer to 5.25"?

Also I am having onkyo sk 750 dual 31/8" speakers
as my surround speakers are these fine or should I upgrade them too?

sorry changing my expensive front left and rights are
not an option

thanks

Even though the woofers have a factor with matching, the biggest one is the tweeter/horn. You WILL hear the difference. No doubt about that at all. Klipsch and Polk are very different, and part of that reason is why I went with Polk for everything. Your Klipsch's should be a little more "in-your-face" whereas the Polk will be more laid back and smooth. That would say to me that the Polk would get lost in the mix really quick.
