I have monitor 70s up front along with the CS2. Would this be a worth-while upgrade to the center channel? Will it timbre match with the monitor 70s?

Yes, they are matched to each other.<<

This is the first time that I have seen that the CSiA6 and Monitor 70's are matched. Is this true?

Thanks

    I never looked into, but it is possible the two series share the same tweeter. That said, I'd rather have all the same series in my HT rig, at least the front three.

    RtiA5 buy one get one free you should take advantage of that, a good match for your CsiA6, for that perfect front stage. I know you knew that the 70's weren't timbre matched to your new center but the A5's are at half price you should consider them.

    Thanks for the heads up maybe I can catch them on FF deal down the road. I am tapped out right now. I sure do like this csia6 even though it's not dialed in yet. The improvement over cs20 is immediately obvious.
