My brother as a pair of rt3 speakers he is using as his mains right now with the rest of the speakers being HTIB speakers and I was wondering if anyone new any CC that were timbre matched to the rt3 speakers. I search polkaudio's website and it has the 1" polymer dome tweet like I am sure many of you know but none of the other "vintage" CC on the website have the same diameter tweeter. The cs150 has a 1" tweet but it says SL4000 which I do not really understand. Anyways I was just wondering if anyone new which CC matched. Also how often do you see them for sale and how much do they usually run? Thanks

    You need a center channel that sports this...

    Mid/Woofer 1 - 5-1/4" Diameter (13.34cm)
    Dynamic Balance® driver
    Tweeter 1 - 1" Diameter (2.54cm)
    Dynamic Balance® polymer dome tweeter

    It will be a black 5.25" midbass (not the CS245) - and a black 1" Polymer tweeter.

    I tried searching Polks vintage section, but I couldnt find it.

    Another match would be...

    CS245, CS245i, CSi30 (dont recomend), CSi3

    Why don't you recommend the csi30? It seems to be the one that matches the best. The cs245i uses the tri-lame and not the silk polymer. The csi3 could work but I was hoping to buy something older so I could get a better price.

    Because I dont like the tweeter. I'm sure it'll be fine. Its just not the best of the 4 I recomended.

    Having owned the RT35i, RT5, and RTi70.

    I'm here to tell you the tri-lam is a MUCH better match. That 1" polymer tweeter is pretty detailed.
