I have a CS 20 and I finally got the Monitor II 70 to try and match it. I wondered if anyone thinks there is a difference between the discontinued CS 20 and the 25 C, r if there is a better center to go with the 70's?

    Maybe I should not ask. I was happy with my system until I busted my Samsung 55" plasma so now everything has to be upgraded to this ugly LED 3D. It is still cheaper than couch time! (so far)

    I would just get the CS2 if you want the cabinet to match exactly.
    the CS20 has the piano end caps and was part of the Tsi line. But ultimately
    you will be fine with any of the 3 centers. I am sure their are minor differences but nothing to break a deal other than the style of cabinet you are looking for.

    Cheers!!

    So this really is about looks more than anything else? What would be the next substantial step up as far as performance? I am just looking for opinions for future reference. I still have to see how I like all of the new stuff that I have so far. The CS 20 is the only old element that I have in my new set up.

    Z thanks for that summation. Upgrading the center is where I have always started and it always follows that I start matching everything to the center. I am having a lot of fun with this wallet be damned! I am pleased so far with the good deals that I have gotten on the Monitor series however I am thinking I should have gotten some golf clubs to get me the hell out of the house lol. It does benifit my son because he gets my hand me downs for free. Next stop is to figure out if I really like the "presence" speakers that I wired up just because I could. I think I will start another thread just to see what folks think of them.

    would the CSi A6 be a good match for my Monitor 70?
