    Hola que tal?

    The center Chris suggested would be your best choice since it's matched to your Monitors and much more dynamic than the smaller CS1.

    I here allot of people don't like center speakers, and I was wondering can you buy a monitor 70 and just put it on its side? That would match right?

    Not to stir anything up but I've never heard anyone saying they don't like center speakers. They have one sole-purpose, why not buy a speaker that's made for that specific application?

    Not in this thread, awhile back I was reading and post about center speakers and people said they generally didn't live up the the left and rights in there set. I don't really know what the difference in design of a center speaker vs just buying an identical speaker to your L and R and using it as a center.

    Using one of your mains as a center can be great; just don't lay it on its side. If a speaker is designed to stand upright then it should stand upright. There are volumes written on this (in this forum), but it mainly has to do with the alignment of the tweeter(s) and driver(s). The problem with using a main as a center is that a tall upright speaker can be hard to mesh with a TV etc, that's why speaker companies designed center channel speakers that were meant to be horizontal. If you don't have a TV, and you're talking about 5.1 music, then, hell yes, one of your mains will be the perfect center.:)

    I've seen at least a couple of folks say they prefer a single Lsi9 to the LsiC. Never heard of anyone putting a full tower on its side but I guess someone somewhere has done it.
