I just was given a pair of RT12s and I really like their sound. I am wondering what you all would suggest for a center speaker to be paired with the RT12 as the Left and Right Fronts.

I am probably looking at picking up a used polk center and I wondered would I should be looking for.

Thanks,
Jon

    The CS225 or CS250 would be the appropriate vintage speakers. They usually come up on ebay for under $100.

    definitely the CSi5, just make sure you have the space for it though its rather large in size. It will definitely match up with the RTi12s, after you get the center save up for the FXi3 or FXi5s surrounds and youre golden. What kind of AVR are you using to drive the 12s. I have the RTi12s, CSi5, FXi3s as well and Im very content, my SVS PB12 plus 2 sub adds the bass to my setup. You cant go wrong with the CSi 5 though. Let us know what you think.

    Right, that is why I suggested the center channels I did.
    Another option I did forget would be the CS245-not the 245i.

    This is the next version of the RT series and the tweeters are very comparable.
