I was wondering if anyone has Polk Audio LSI-C Center Channel Speaker being used with another brand such as Paradigm, B&W, etc....and if it seems compatible (Timbrematched)with the LSI Center channel speaker?
I have a LSI-C right now using it with the LSI 9'S but would like to purchase a set of tower speakers but not necessarilly the LSI15 or LSI25. Would someone know of another brand that would be timbrematched with the LSI-C. Thank you.

    Personally, I would get the LSi15 or LSi25.

    If you don't want to stay with the LSi's, purchase the speakers you like, sell your LSiC and purchase a new center to match the new speakers.

    +1000 have to totally agree with Michael! You may want to find some fronts and then get a center channel that's matched to them.

    Why not wait it out a bit and see what towers Polk makes available next?
    Just FYI my focals went pretty darn well with the cs-350 center.

    I would NOT buy a pair of towers to match to a center channel. I'd MUCH rather buy a pair of towers, and find a center channel to match that.

    Though center channels receive most of the signal in a surround sound setting, the speakers that should be given the most investment are the front left and right channels. Get whatever you like, and get as much as you can afford. If the LSiC doesn't work with it, replace it with something that does.
