I know polk says the csi20 is the best match. But just one mid and low sensitivity scare me away from the center. I haven't heard any of these centers, but I'll trust your judgement even if it is for the csi20. Here is what I've found that I can get:
csi20 - $107
csi3 - $139
cs1 - $179

Thanks,
Flak

    The 20 will match your R30's best. The CSi3 and CS1 have different drivers and tweeters than your R30's. If you feel you need a powerful center and don't mind the slight difference in tonal balance, go ahead and get the 3 or 1. Maybe you can go for the CSi3 if you plan to upgrade to the RTi in the future.

    Try the 20, if you don't like it sell it in the Flea Market section.

    I use the CS1 with my R30's and I'm very happy with it. I have the center volume turned down -3db via my receiver because it seems to me to be a little more in your face than the R30's. After making that adjustment, they all sound great together.

    Also, I was able to get the CS1 for only $125 at Circuit City by having them price match HHGregg's price of $130. If you buy at Circuit City, you also get 30 days to return it if you decide you're not happy with it.
