I have a set of RC55i for the front and RC60i in the back.

Was thinking about going with the CS1 from the Polk ebay store b/c it seems like quite a bargain, but wanted any other recommendations. Heard some say the CS2 is light years better than the CS1.

Then I need a sub. People don't seem to like the PSW10 so looking for other options. Don't want to spend too much. I've seen some nice reviews on the 505 but wanted some other options there as well.

This will be 80% TV, 15% movies, 5% music.

    I'd say you are onto something there. Definately get the CS2 over the 1. For surround, your center is probably THE most important speaker you can have.

    The 505 is probably the lowest sub that's worth anything if you want my opinion. The sky is the limit though, so depending on your budget, opinions on here vary quite a bit. I've got the DSW660wi, but I had a little wiggle room for price. If you don't have the funds - I'd just start with the center and get the sub down the road (whichever one you pick)

    I bought a psw10 and was not impressed with it. Like Glowrdr said, many say the 505 is the lowest you should go with the polk line of subs. If you are really on a budget google BIC and Lava and you will get a ton of info on sub $200 and sub $300 subs. Good luck.
