Hello,
Has anybody compared the LSiC center channel speaker to the older CS 350? Which one sounds better? Maybe you can list pros and cons of each.
Thanks,
Bill

    I have both, and I`m currently using my RT55i`s instead of my Lsi9`s, because the LSi`s sound better for music...IMO

    That and until I get my Sonus Fabers, the 9`s are for my 2ch rig..

    If you have the power to drive the 4ohm load on the LSi`s, then they are the best Polk has to offer..

    Do a side by side..
    Set the RTi`s up and set up the LSi`s right next to them ...play the same movie for both...switch back and forth if you can..

    Let your ears decide...

    where do you live ..?

    Beardog,
    Thanks for your response. I have the LSiC now and I was considering the CS350, but I never had the chance to hear one. I realize that I will hear it differently then you will and that I have to hear it for myself but I thought that if I received several responses saying things like its too harsh, to boomy, distorts, dialogue not clear, better then, not as good as ect. I would then decide weather it makes sense to buy a CS350 to compare or maybe not waist my time. I live in New York.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    I have my LSiC on top of my Csi40..
    I like them both, but they are very different animals..

    sorry I`m not much help, but I hear the 350 is a great center speaker
