Whats the difference? the 505 just basically a newer version? I know there is a significant difference on amazon right now, the 505 is only $199, I kinda want to jump on that to go with my Monitor 70's. Also the old CS2 vs. the new CS20? I have the cs20 and it sounds just fine to me, but I see on the 70's product page they pair with the older cs2, should i seek out the older cs2 or just stick with my cs20?

    The PSW 505 is an older version and was part of the RTi speaker line. The 505 has the Canadian Bash Amp that puts out a continuous 300 Watts and the PSW 125 is rated at 150 Watts. The 505 has real wood veneer and the 125 has vinyl covering. The 505 has a removable cloth grill and the 125 has none. The 505 goes lower ( 28 Hz at -3db and the 125 is 34 Hz at -3db ). The PSW 505 is a better sub and performs a lot better than that $199 price would suggest.
