I have negotiated with a seller on ebay for a CSIA6 (new in sealed box) my offer was $250 +freeshipping he returned with $275 free shipping should I go ahead and jump on this and hold firm at $250? If I'm patience can i get a much better deal? Currently running the csia4.

Thanks guys!

    If you don't mind buying used, you can get a better price.

    might I also suggest a csi5? Polk sells them for 225 shipped and the main differences are cosmetic.

    I would also recommend the CSi5. Much cheaper and will sound pretty much the same as the CSiA6.

    $275 is a pretty good deal for a new a6 IMO.

    I just noticed that the rest of your system consists of the RTiA series so you might as well opt for the CSiA6. $275 shipped is a pretty damn good price. Hopefully you will get a warranty through this particular seller.

    I just pulled the trigger.
    I need to move my tv to a mount tomorrow and reconfigure some shelves. Anyone know what the height measurement on the a6 is at 8 inche back from the front face plate?

    Hey Tommy, what's up?

    You've got the A7's. That's a great price for the CSiA6 new. It'll match your speakers better. Get it, you'll be glad you did, and for that price new, nicely done.

    Thanks Geoff, not only will I have a new center but in its new position it will be right below th TV vs a shelf below on the stand. Im hoping the increased tweter height will also show improved sound.

    CSiA6 is a great center channel. Congratulation on purchasing it with such a great price. The right placement of that speaker will improve it's quality. I have had that originally above my TV, but then re-arranged things around and placed it below TV, almost at the ear level and could notice significant difference in quality.
