    Looks like a cs400. Sell for $125-$150 all day on ebay, even a little more on agon. Just picked one up with some RT600s recently.

    Good buy!

    hell yeah its worth it, if the mkII back surrounds you have are the little speakers I'm thinking of, you might want to run 6.1 and try that things as a rear center.

    hey, worth a try. not a perfect timbre match for your front center, but it will be more than close enough to blend in and get the job done, and well

    Well I gave my new center the torture tests and it passed with flying colors for sure,
    I was extremly impressed with the sound and bass this thing puts out and
    "The Punisher" never sounded better with all the explosions and gunfire in
    the movie and the voices were very noticable.
    So all in all I like it much better than my cs245i which I will be parting with soon , I will post it in the for sale section soon....
