Currently I use a CS1 with my setup and thinking of upgrading to a CS10, but wonder if this is going to give me some improvements with TV viewing and movies? Thanks.

    or CS2 if you have other monitor series such as 70's, 60's, 50's, 40's or 30's.

    CS20 if you have the TSI 100's, 200's, ect..

    My fault for not giving better info at the start. The CS20 won't work as I have size restrictions of no higher then 7" and can't be wider then 24". I will be paired with a set of RTA-12C.

    Then CS2 won't work either, it's almost 8" tall....hum.

    Not sure on the size of the older and hard to find CS350 vintage center channel..

    I'm running a CS10 with heavily modded RTA 12C's as my front L-R mains. It works pretty well, though I plan to upgrade the Xover on the CS10. From what I understand the drivers respond well to a cap/resistor upgrade and it should be cheap as there's only one Xover to do.

    The 350 is only 7" tall but it's 26" wide. It's a big boy....

    Yeah it was one of the first one's I looked at, but the length won't work in my setup. I guess I might have to look outside Polk to find a step up. Any good suggestions to match with some vintage Polks?

    The 400 and 400i would match pretty well. They are shorter but taller. Matching vintage Polk with another manufacturer is goung to be a challenge IMO. I'd look to figure a way to make a 350 or 400 fit. The 350 had a little bro IIRC Think it was a CS 245 or something....
