Hello,

I have S60 mains, got them from Adorama in a package deal with the S30 & S20's.

I like the S30 good detailed center. Problem is I built my TV stand for a large center. So I put my TSX 250C in. Not bad but less depth and detail than the S30 but it didn't look funny.

I always wondered how a CSi center would blend with the Signatures. This morning I was checking CL. some guy has had a CSI A6 on there for a few months. I remembered he was asking $150 for it. Naa I'm not paying that much. So today I noticed he changed the price to OBO. I emailed and offered $80, he said yes. We meet and there was a small scratch on it. I dropped it to $70. I'll never see the scratch as it sits in my TV stand.

I asked why he was selling. He said he was getting to many noise complaints in his apartment with the HT setup.

Get it home run Audyssey. Put on a flick, YES this speaker blends very nice with the S60. Voices are nice and detailed again.

A very good rainy day in SoCal. Time for some new Thor.
When I was a kid my parents told me to turn it down. Now I'm an adult and my kids tell me to turn it down.

    Thor was nice last night, I didn't know how much detail I was missing with the TSX250C.

    S30 is a nice center speaker, I would say better than the TSX250C. Reason I was using the TSX was the S30 looked funny in my TV stand.gaqmyrscpwfc.jpg

    CSiA6 is a better center than the S30, I was worried the CSi would not blend well with the S60. It blends very nice, I've watched two movies so far, I'm impressed at how good it blends.

    As for performance, Yeah it's a big detailed monster center, nice deep and crystal clear. I didn't have to rewind at all on Murder on the Orient Express.

    BTW; I have taken the stickers off my speakers

    Glad it works. I went from a CS1000p to the A6 with the new setup. It doesn’t have the range of the 1000 but it is a killer center. I think the detail it has makes up its range I lost.
    Polk really should make a 3rd center for the SS with larger drivers or something like the CS350LS setup. Maybe a S30 with 4 drivers.
