I just picked up a CS350 off of CL for a very good price. Thanks for the heads up Starkiller! Anyway, I swapped out my CSi5 with it just for kicks and I am very impressed. For all you vintage folks, this is a very good center and it matches the 1Cs pretty nicely. I think there is another mod in my future (just a 5.8uf cap and a 2 ohm resistor). I can even do that!
This puppy is going in a second HT system. My wife is sooo happy

Yup. It cleaned up nicely and I am very happy with it.

Love mine and I feel it matches my SDA-2B's nicely. I got the cap and resistor too just need to install them when I get a chance. You got a great deal.

I just bought one on eBay (buy it now price for $125+25 s/h). It should be here next week. It looks absolutely MINT. I can't wait to get it and I am happy to hear that you find it performing well coming from a CSi5. I currently have a CSi3 so this should be quite a jump.

adb, I saw that one too. Looked to be in great shape.

Yes, I hope so. The pics really looked incredible. Hopefully it's not too good to be true. -
Why do you have it hung sideways on the wall? :biggrin:
All Kidding aside, that is a nice center. -
Best center ever?

Yep it's a keeper. Mine has been through a fire and lost the veneer off the front, but all drivers are intact and work. I agree they are a pretty close match to the SDA's not perfect, but definitely close enough.

The cs1000p is probably polks 2nd best ever to the SRT center. The cs350 deffinetly holds its own. Congrats on the purchase.Statistics show that 98% of us will die at some point in our lifetime.
The other 2% will work for WalMart. -

Based on info from a post I saw on here. I havn't opened it up yet. :cheesygrin:
Well it has a new home in my other system. Played "Cars" for the kids with the volume set at 11. Good fun! Incredible clarity and a very wide sound stage. Bass is not as tight as the CSi but I kind of like it.

The 350 will last forever when properly powered. Good price on yours. I am using a Behringer Ref Amp to power a pair. They sound awesome although I wish they had more on the high end.
BTW, you should edit your sig
