    The cs10 will work fine, however if you have the room for it and the extra $ the cs20 is really a better center channel.

    WELCOME TO CLUB POLK!

    The main reason most of us will tell you to go BIGGER on the center (CS20) is because it carries 50%+ of the sound in a surround soundtrack. So obviously it is the most used speaker in a surround set up...you want to be able to do two things:

    1. Hear the dialog clearly and
    2. Hear MORE than just the dialog...because there is more on that track.

    +1 to what cnh says.

    He recommended to me over a year ago that I get the CS20, but I had already gotten the CS10. A year later I got the CS20 upgrade. The CS10 is a good speaker, but the CS20 is just a better speaker.
