Will a CSI-A6 center work with SDA-1C's?

Recently purchased a sealed box of SDA 1C's. They are replacing my RTI-A9's. Power wise, I have Emotiva's reference series XPR-2 and my receiver is the Onkyo Tx-NR5007. I plan to listen to music in two channel stereo mode but am hoping for movies, the CSI-A6 will work out ok with the SDA-1C's. By the way, my subwoofer is the Polk Micro-Pro 4000.

    The CS-400 or 400i might be a better match.I used one with my SDA-1C's quite successfully. Polk told me to get it.

    The A6 WILL work however.They're just different vintages and different sonic characteristics from different times.

    CS350LS works well too if you want to stay vintage...

    I found a nice CS350LS to use with my 2bs they sound great together. Prior to the CS350 I was using a CS10 bad combo there.

    Golfing I cannot recommend replacing the SL-2000 tweeters with some silk dome RD-0194's highly enough!! They are an order of magnitude better.Call Polk and tell them you are a forum member and you will get a discount.
    I did it with my 1C's and also with my Monitor 5jr's.They eliminated a midrange coloration I was hearing with the 5JR's mounted high up on the side walls believe it or not.
    Now that I have the SDA-SRS 3.1TL's, I replaced the SL-3000's with the RD-0198 tweeters.
    My 1C's are up for sale now after 20 years of happy times (*sniff*)
