I'm looking for a better center channel to replace what I am using now. What's the difference between a CSM and CSi25? Seems I can find detailed info on the CSM. I have R50's for the front.
HK AVR 335
Polk R50 fronts
Polk CSi25 center
Polk R15 rear
2 Sony modded subs with 12" Daytons
32" Sharp Aquos
PS2

    Pretty sure the CSM is the replacement for CSi25. Looks like the same or very similar drivers, but a different cabinet to match the new M series. The cabinet dimensions appear to be different too. From what I understand, it should still be a good sonic match to the R series. However, you can still find the CSi25 on Ebay and sometimes Fry's Outpost for around $80.

    If you do a search on this website on the CSM, you'll find this:

    Not sure why this doesn't show up in the standard product info page.

    I have the csm with R50 fronts and the tweeters appear to be the same 3/4" silk dome. They are timbre matched to the R50s for my front stage and R30 rears. I believe the dimensions are larger with the csm vs. csi25
