New User hoping for advice on center channel selection

LenB

Hi, I have a pair of Eosone RSF1000 front speakers, and I'm trying to determine what a good match for a center channel speaker would be. Originally, they were matched with an RSC-300, also made by Eosone, but they are difficult to find anymore. I would love to hear from anyone as to a suggestion. I know ideally the front line of speakers should be timbre matched, and from reading some of the posts on this site, I'm sure several of you will have great opinions. I look forward to reading your replies. Thanks in advance, and Happy New Year everyone!!

Welcome to the forum, Len. I don't have any experience with the speakers you mentioned, but hopefully somebody here will be able to share a little knowledge with you.

Any of the current Polk centers would be OK, the CSiA6 would be the closest in terms of matching the fronts (1" tweeter, 4" mid, 6.5" woofer).
The CSiA4 would probably be close enough, and not too pricey for what you're looking for.

I would grab a cs400 or cs400i. Most likely similar tweeters, from a similar era. Cheap on the used market, and sound quality is very good.

But I still might opt for the cs400i, no doubt better sq
