Hello

I've purchased two pairs of RTiA1s from the Polk store and am looking to complete the setup with a matching center channel. I read in the forum that the CSiA4 are a good match for this. I was actually considering the CSi5, which was on a good deal on ebay, but am not sure if they mix well with A1s.

Can you please share your thoughts as to which all options I have? My budget is rather limited (around 350$) and I dont mind second-hand.

Thank you

    The Csi5 would be a good match if you don't have the funds for a Csia6 the Csia4 is perfect for your Rtia1s. Welcome to the club.

    I run the CSI A4 with my RTi A7's and don't have a problem. The CSI A6 is huge and I do not have any room for it.

    I´m wanting to use the RtiA1 with the TL3 or TL2 front speaker because os the size of the others front speakers. I know that i´m loosing quality, but do you think it´s going to be so bad that is not worth doing it??? And, which them do you think would match better with the RTiA1??

    Thanks
