I have a pair of r30's as my fronts and r15's as my surrounds. I was going to pickup a csi3 for my center and came across a csi25 for a pretty good price. I've done some searching and haven't been able to turn up any info.

Does anyone have any specs on the csi25?

How does it compare to the csi3?

Is the csi25 a good match for my r30's?

Thanks ahead of time for any info you can provide

    I have the CSi3 w/ R50s. Great center channel, but...

    the CSi25 has the same drivers/tweeter. Haven't heard it, but those who have it are very positive.

    The CS1 is a very good match. Adds clarity and very good punch.

    The CSi3 is a good match, very detailed and crisp, adds punch and brightness, but not much bottom.

    YMMV

    Combo rig:

    Onkyo NR1007 pre-pro, Carver TFM 45(fronts), Carver TFM 35 (surrounds)
    SDA 1C, CS400i, SDA 2B
    PB13Ultra RO
    BW Silvers
    Oppo BDP-83SE

    I have a CS1 and I couldn't be happier.


    If i knew about the new Csi25, I still wouldn't get it.

    The price difference doesn't justify it. The cs1 can be had at 100 dollars or so. I paid 110 shipped, but the deal is off now. You can still get them on ebay for that price.


    CSi25 is suppose to be 150 and up i believe?

    Too much. If the csi 25 was 100 then that'll be fine.

    Thanks for the replies!

    I did end up picking up the csi25 back in May. I was originally shopping for the csi3 and the place I bought it from mentioned this model to me and said it was "last years" model. I got it for $99. While researching, the only info I could find was at sites located outside the U.S. I thought maybe there was a U.S. model number that would be the equivalent of the csi25. I couldn't find any info. on the Polk site.

    When I first set it up, I didn't care for the sound but after breaking it in for a week or two, the quality improved and we are happy with it.

    I also picked up a csi25 center channel for $100. I am very pleased so far. It matches really well in the system I am using it in - R20's in front, R15's in back, Cambridge SW 10" powered sub.
