Polk CSI 5 versus Wilson Audio Watch center channel

polkfarmboy

I am going to do a shoot out for fun with these two center channel speakers. The obvious conclusion is that the Wilson is going win but thats not the objective of this test. This is rather going to be a comparison about how close a the Polk csi5 can come to a super high end model like a Wilson.

I wont bother doing any comparisons to the Motion 30 as the tweeters diff, nor shall I be drawing any conclusions about the Martin Logan Stage center. I would however be curious to find out if there is something the Wilson can do that the Stage cannot.

I will post back with my findings shortly as its going to take a whole bunch of movies. I will put a couple of pictures up of both before I get descriptive. If your curious about equipment for this test then I will be using Musical Fidelity M1 PWR Amps in monoblock config, Marantz 8801, Oppo BDP 93 and I am going to use stock ac's, cheap off brand speaker cables and also some Wireworld Eclipse ic;s in RCA as they are very well rounded for so little money.

I am not going to be using DVD's or netflix or any other streaming device and will be sticking to just Blurays I have and know.
