Could you replace a csi20 with an r15?

The specs seem pretty similar and I was thinking about using an r15 as my center in my bedroom setup. I'm using r50s for fronts, r30s for surrounds, and Fry's has the r15s at $49 a pair. I'm thinking that I might be able to get the same sound from one r15 used as a center channel rather than use a csi20 or csi30 which has been discontinued. Your thoughts?
Main system:

Fronts: Infinity Alpha 50
Center: Infinity Alpha 37c
Surrounds: Infinity Alpha 20
Receiver: Onkyo TS-XR607
Subwoofer: Pioneer S-DW1-K
Cable- Monster Cable XP

Bedroom Setup:

fronts- Polk R50
surrounds- Polk R30
center- CS1
sub- Sony 50 watt
AVR- Onkyo TSXR502
Cable- Monster Cable XP

    It should work just fine. I use a bookshelf speaker for my center channel and it sounds very good to me.

    It should work just fine. They're basically the same speaker...
