Looking to timbre match my new Monitor 75t with a center. I can't see on this site (probably missed it somewhere) an exact match for these Monitors. Companions to this set up will be PSB Alpha B1 surrounds, Yamaha v-671 receiver and Polk DSWPRO550 sub. I'm leaning towards the CS20 being a good match, any thoughts out there?

    Thanks cnh, I see it now... it seems a close match to the CS20, don't you think? Though I see the CS20 as discontinued at Newegg. The issue is, the CS20 is available up here for around $228 CDN. Can't find the M-25c anywhere in Canada. I'm an hour from the border so could have it sent there to a mailing place (from Newegg.com, no shipping) and pick it up myself. Since they're a China build though and not U.S., I'll have to pay duty. With tax, I'm looking at the about the same price as the CS20 here, not counting my time and gas to do the border pick up. BTW, Newegg.ca is a virtual shell, stocking next to nothing compared to its US cousin unfortunately. But, I have more time than money right now so my search continues...thanks muchly for the info.

    The CS2 should do a fine job as a match and is going for a pretty low price, even an open box shows a lower price still!

    Newegg.com has a great price on the M-25c (149.99). Been trying all day, I have a postal service in North Dakota to deliver to (I'm in Canada) and even had my visa card set up with a US billing address, but they won't sell to me, kinda crazy it seems (have to have a US card from a US bank). I have no trouble buying from Amazon.com, it's like Newegg doesn't want my money. Very frustrating.

    Hey Tornado Red, wondering if you have a "review" on the 75T's? I'm thinking of buying a pair. Thanks much!!

    I'm real happy with the purchase. Waiting for the sub and center to arrive over the next couple of weeks to complete the package. I guess there's a price attached to most things in life, so for $398 for the pair I consider them "well bought" as they say, but that's just me. With my Yamaha driving them though, I'm likely under powered at 125 w per side. Probably the more power you're pushing the more you'll like them. Great highs and mids, and once I upgrade the sub to the DSW550 I'm hoping that will take some pressure off the mains in the low range. Again, I'm likely under powered here. I was playing some Buddy Guy blues the other day and they sounded fantastic. I consider them a good 'double duty' speaker as well as they're part of my HT. Hope this helps...
