LSi Center measurements can be viewed on the Polk website here.
As for where to get them cheap, the cheapest I've seen LSi speakers is from a website called www.acousticsounddesign.com. They do not publish their full catalog online, but if you email them requesting LSi, they'll email you back w/ their price. I really don't know anything about the outfit, probably an unauthorized dealer but I'm not sure. May want to check w/ the Polk Folks to be sure they'll honor warranty, although I don't think they're very stict about it. Otherwise, the Lsi C can be had at a local Fry's or www.crutchfield.com for around $500.

If there was an obvious flaw in the design that caused a problem, then polk would probably honor the warranty no matter what. But if you blew it from abuse, i doubt theyd be as willing to help.

thanks Gregure!
but it is still too big for the shelf, which is 20" wide, maybe a lsi9
would do the trick, can you direct me to where I can buy 1 for cheap?

Why not build a stand for the set. I have a friend who has been looking at the same Sony 50" set, and the $500 stand just seems like a waste of money to him. I personally may get that set, and will just build a stand that will allow my CS350 to fit. It may not look as cool, but with the lights down low, who cares. Then again, after watching our cabinet makers do some awesome woodworking at our house, I think it would be easy to design something that would compliment the set.

I also see best buy sells a stand for $299 that has plenty of space for the CS350.

Earthy thats a great Idea!

I know a contractor who could ask if one of his guys would do it for about 500$, i could design a killer stand. I think making a shelf for the 350 then covering the opening w/ a speaker grill, in effect hiding the center channel would look awesome. I saw this in Avion's 1500$ stand

Are you completely satisfied with the 350? If you are, get the stand built for it but it might be better to get an LSiC, IMO. You should be able to get descent cash for it if you sell it. Will match your mains a lot better. The 350 uses a tri-lam tweeter. One thing's for sure though, that thing is BIG.
