Have all ready got some input on this. but wanted to get some more thoughts about the CSi3 as the center with R30s as the fronts. Will the center be too much for the the R30s....should I step down to the CSi25 or CS1.

Thanks.

    I think the Csi3 will be a bit much but dependent if price is a factor...some can get the CSi25 for 100 bucks. I got my CS1 for about the same and am very happy with it. If I could get the csi25 for 100 i would, but I don't think you'll be disstaisfied with the CS1 as your center with the R30's..


    I've never heard the CS3's with R30's
    but based off what I hear...

    Well, the .... doesnt leave a good impression on me.

    I can get the CSi3 for 135 bucks, so I am wondering if I should pass on it or not.

    The only speakers I have ordered so far are the R30s, I was going to use them as my fronts, or I could get the R50s for the front and put the 30s in the back.

    This is what I have been flip flopping on this for most of the night.

    I'm the only one making you cautious. If you go for it you won't be disappointed. If you pass you won't be either. There's always another deal.:D

    Go for it...that's a very good price if it's new or excellent condition used

    ;)

    I'll agree with the price, thats not bad at all for a new or really good conditioned one. Price is an important factor for me.

    I've been thinking $135 shipped is a very good price. Normally it'd be $165-70.

    I have just got the R300, R150 and psw10. which center should I go for? I can not test with any cs1,csi3 or csi25 since there is no R300 in new york circuitcity or J&R. Thanks for any advice.

    You should probably start a new thread on this. Might get ignored down here.
