They are both roughly the same price on newegg.

1. What would match my setup better?
2. Which is the better speaker?

    The CS10 is going to be the same as the CS1 you already have.... The CS2 (and CS20) will be better than the CS1 (and CS10).

    IMO the CS2 will be a nice upgrade and match your 70's well.

    I believe CS1 and CS10 are exactly same except CS10 is new version with some cosmetic design change. You have already CS1.

    CS2 or CS20 will be the upgrade for you. Currently only black CS2 is available from NewEgg.

    Yeah my 70s are cherry and was hoping to get the center to match. You think there's a chance newegg will get another supply of the CS2's in cherry? They might be running out of supply for good. I kinda wanna jump on the CS2 in black before they sell out of those too.

    Yeah I'm really debating refusing the Black Polk CS2 and returning it back to newegg. That way I can purchase the Cherry. The black doesn't look all that bad though since my computer, tv, sub and receiver are all black. All this questioning is toying with my mind.

    Might be cool to have my Center match the Fronts though.
