Friend gave me a new pair of M10's. Thought I would add a center speaker and a sub. Considered a CSi3 and a PSW10. Anyone have any other suggestions? Really would appreciate the help..

    are you wanting to use them in a home theater set up? if so.. adding a center and sub is important. YOu may want to go instead with a larger center. such as a CSi5. or the Monitor 10's may overpower the smaller center.

    How big is the room? CS-1 and a psw 202 maybe. No one on here seems to like the psw 10. I've never had one so I can't really say. I do have a cs-1 though. It was too small for my room (12 x 25) but may be ok for a smaller room.

    CSR or CSi25 would be the best match. If you are going to run 6.1, pick up another pair of M10's - one for front center, one for rear.

    Any Polk sub would be a good match.

    Cheers,

    More info: room size is 10x12.. spare room converted to my "play room"... Will use mainly for Xbox 360 on a 32" LCD HDTV...5.1 receiver is Sony STR-DE835.The m10's are ok but i think that using a good center will make all of the difference..The psw10 has good reviews and will pick up majority of bass..will probably add rears at a later date. Right now i want speakers that are compatible.

    You would probably do better with a psw303, its pretty solid for the price and would go with your M10s. Center try wat russ has said. Get a CSR and anoter pair of M10s for surrounds. Decent 5.1 for games and movies in a room that small.

    Good luck!
