Hi verEyone. I had my Polk's since 2014, and looking to updgrade. I currently have TSi400, CS10 and PSW10. Denon AVR X2500. I am considering staying with Polk. If I do, I would want one the better CC. Has anyone used/heard the LSiM 704 with the TSi series? thanks.

    Very different tweeter. Perhaps look for a used csi5 or csi a6. If you’re patient you should be able to find one for $15 or less...like this:

    I liked the csi with my monitor 70s I did run a the csi with 707s and it was not as good of a match not awful though.

    CS20 is the logical upgrade to what you own. You shouldn't mix and match the front sound stage . You can get away with that for surrounds Atmos and Surround backs but not the center channel

    I generally agree. But I dont want to spend the money for the LSiM towers. Would signature or rtiA series be a better match?

    @mchief117 That CS10 is the match for your 400's (same drivers. The CS100 happened to be the fist Polk speaker that I owned and I was pretty happy with it but it didn't match my Monitor 70's when I got them so I "upgraded" to the CS20. I am not sure if there was something wrong with the CS20 but it sounded muddled muddy and muffled. I switched back to the CS10 for a minute until I got a CSiA6 and I liked it better than the CS10. Not timber matched but it was so much better than either CS. As Mantis said the CS20 would be a logical step but in my case it was a downgrade.

    BTW were you a Nighthawk crew chief or something? If that's classified, nevermind.
