I need a center for the R15s i use as fronts. From what ive been reading the Csi25 is the only match for the R15s. I can't find the specs for Csi25 but i assume it has same tweeter and driver. The Cs1 has same driver but different tweeter. Does it matter? How important is it for them to match? (How close? or do they have to completely 100% match?)

    the cs1 sounds nice and matches my r50'es just fine. Even though the r50es have a 3/4 tweeter and the cs1 has a 1 inch tweeter, they match pretty nice. Since your r15'es have a 3/4 tweet it will match the same as my r50'es for the most part.

    I guess im just a lttle too late jumping into the Cs1 deal before finding this information. Guess i just have to wait for the Csi25 deal at Fry

    Another option if the CSi25 gets hard to find is the newer CSM (link below). The M series replaced the R series as Polk's entry level series. The M series appears to be the same as the R series, but with some cosmetic changes.
