Hi, happy new year, I'm new to Polk forums.
I have a pair of RTI12s as my fronts , a pair of monitor 70s for my backs,
My current center is a JBL CVCEN50 and my sub is jBLSUB50.
my receiver is Pioneer Elite VSX 84TXSI.
I'm not happy with my center channel, I would like to upgrade it.
What are my best options new or old Polk or other brands.
Im willing to spend up to 1000$ but will be more comfortable around 500.
Currently I'm looking at LSiC , CS1000P and JBL LC2 but haven't heard any of them, actually don't even know where to go to audition them.
I live in Westchester NY but work in Manhattan.
Your input is much appreciated.
Thank you
Babak

    The LSiC will not blend well with your RTi12's.

    Might I suggest you timbre-match your front stage and put out a Wanted ad for a CSi5.

    I agree but a couple other options that would also work well would be the newer CSiA6 or the older CSi40.

    The CSi5 is the perfect match and the best suggestion overall.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.
