Hi,

I have a 5.1 setup with LSi7's as my front and surround speakers. I'm currently using a cs175 as my center and want to upgrade. I'm open to suggestions but here is what I'm thinking. I can buy a single LSi7 (left) for about 160.00. Not to much money and it would match nicely.

There looks to be cs400/i's for sale for anywhere ranging from 90.00 to 250.00. Some look like cs400's and others look like cs400i's some with black mids and some with Blue mids. Not sure of the difference.

I'd like an LSi center but they seem very costly. 500 and up.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks...
I like to listen, tinker, listen and repeat.

    How about 2 LSI7's? Laying down on their sides? I have heard of people using 2 LSI9's before and raving about it.

    Not a bad idea but both options are a little steep. I'm trying to keep it down to around 200... I really dont have the room for two 7's.
