Hello! I'm a new owner of the Polk R30s. My problem is I am having a difficult time finding a store that still sells the CSi20 center speaker. I need suggestions on what I should do to for my center speaker?

Is the CSi20 the only one that will match well with my R30s ever?? Will the CS1 blend well as well? What settings should I consider or pay attention to when I get t he CS1? I use a Panasonic XR50 digital amp. I also use the Dayton Audio TM2 for my sub. Any other Polk centers to consider? SHould I go with a different brand for the center?

    Yes' I just looked on ebay. I found 1 but lost on the bidding as I ran out of time to outbid the high bidder. I was in it till the last second but unfortunately I wasn't able to get my last high bid in. Got any ideas where else to find a CSi20?

    Nope, sorry. Keep looking on ePay, I'm sure more will surface.

    several other Polk centers will closely match your R30's for the tweeter. the CSi20 isn't the only one. just depends on how much you want to spend for a center.

    Even the current line of centers will match well with your R30's.

    CS1, CSi3

    if i were you. i'd stick wth the center from Polk. I tried in the beginning to go the el cheapo brand route for a center. and it never sounded very good.
