I am about to buy a pair of TSi500's what would be the best Polk centre speaker to match these towers?
I currently have a Polk RM7.

    The CS20 is the match for your TSI 500s so that would be the one to get, unless your looking for a center that does not match.

    I would say the CS20 would would be the perfect match as those are part of the TSI line.

    Here is one off of Polks E Bay store not sure what color you need. That is a decent price for sure.

    gudnoyez is right. But if you can't find that the CS2 would also be a close match. Almost identical drivers with a very slight difference in the crossover, negligible!

    Thanks guys for the info, right now I can get the TSx250c for less than the CS20. Can find info on the CS10 on Polk site but nothing on the CS20, no longer manufactured?

    OK got the two TSi500's and both the CS20 and TSx250c are available for about the same price, so which way to go for sure?
