Starting to put together a new setup. Looking at the CS1 Series II for center, Monitor50 series II for fronts and the PSW Series PSW10 sub.
Will these work together.
Thanks

    I am working on mine as we speak, hopefully receiver will be here today. I was looking at a close set-up to yours and decided to upgrade a little. Check out the PolkDirect Ebay site for great deals and also Newegg is running some killer polk deals right now.

    Welcome to CP.

    Was debating going with the CS2's and either the monitor 50 or 40's.

    I went with the CS2, a little larger and better sound from what I have read on here. Here are a couple of deals to look at from Ebay & Newegg. Newegg are New and you get full 5 yr warranty & Ebay is Refurb and you get a 2 yr warranty. When I received my refurb Monitor 60's & CS2 from polk direct they look brand spanking new, I highly recommend.

    The 40's are quite large and wondered how they would look mounted on wall, needless to say they look GREAT! I used the AM-40 mounts.

    Good luck and keep us posted.

    Go with a cs2, no doubt... and possibly a better sub! But I'm not sure what budget you're working with so, your budget will ultimitaly be the deciding factor.

    I've heard the psw10 before and I think you should save your money for something nicer....

    The CS2 sounds waaaaaaaaaaay better than the CS1 IMO, got to demo them back to back, no comparison.

    J&R had them for $59.99 free shipping. It took them a couple fo days to ship them but overall satisfied with them. I got the 40's wall mounted last night and they look great, got wife's approval.. :cool: We are touch up painting the room this weekend and I will post pics, check out my "new to polk" thread. The AM-40's were highly recommended by users on here and I have to agree, very easy to install and look great to boot.

    Sorry about hi-jacking your thread rbk35
    Looked at the AM-40's, pretty cool indeed, a little rich for my blood at the moment since I just purhcase the new sub and Monitor 40's. I'll build a couple of wooden brackets this weekend to support my 40's up in the corners since I'm using them in the "wide" position.

    Once my wife and I get our new home (not til next year), I'll go for those nice looking brackets then. AND, once I get those 40's mounted (they arrive Monday), I'll post pictures of one mad insane bedroom setup.:biggrin:
