Need a center speaker
So I just had 4 Polk rc65i speakers installed in my basement, 2 in the front and 2 in the rear. I picked up the Polk PSW111 (though now I'm thinking I prob. should have gotten the PSW110) but anyways I need a center speaker to compliment these. Polk CS recommended the CS20, but that thing is huge. I was eying the CS10, but I feel like that may also be to big. Especially since the SUB is so small and I'm putting the center speaker under a 46 inch TV (non wall mounted).
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Go with the cs20.
Center channels do alot of work in a HT, if you want good sound,go with a better center channel. If you just want small and not so good sound, that can be done too. How big is this room btw ? I gather a good size since it's in the basement ?
As far as center channels go, the CS20 isn't that big at all.HT SYSTEM-

Well, its a pretty small basement, I'd say 17x15. Is the CS10 vs the CS20 much different? Obviously' I don't want it to be less powered then the wall speakers. But also don't want it to large that its an eyesore and taking away from the TV since its not that big.

The CS20 sounds better than the CS10, but the CS10 is smaller. The CS20 will not overpower any of your speakers if adjusted properly, which is the whole idea of HT. Blend the speakers to create the atmosphere that the movie places the viewer in. The only reason to choose the 10 over the 20 would be budget or space. Unless the speaker blocks part of the screen, everybody will ignore it.
