OMG! Just wanted to share my excitement! I just got Polk CS400 on ebay for $100. Same guy has Polk CS245 for $65 (buy-it-now).

The guy is in Fort Worth, so Dallas Polkies can get amazing deals (i.e. no $25 shipping). Search for "CS 245" - he split the model # in two pieces.

So next month I will have CS400 for center to match my CS1000p main towers. I never thought I would get CS400 any time soon to replace CS245! Yay!

    going from a 245 to a 400 is going to make a pretty big difference in your front soundstage.

    will probably be the best audio benjamin you've spent. good snag.

    would take a significant amount of coin to upgrade over what you got in the front, so enjoy it for a while :D

    Damn! I saw the CS245 for that sick price the other day and passed because it wouldn't help me at all. I definitely did not see the CS400 for $100 or you would not be waiting for it right now!!

    Nice snag. The center I have is nice and streamlined and easy on the eyes, but I'm sure I'm missing something in the match.

    McCelery, you can have a CS400 for $150+ shipping courtesy of me, if you like. It's in the FS thread.

    Thanks but I was pushing it with the amazing deal of $100 + shipping. $150+ seems to be the going rate these days and I've gotta stay good for the time being. I'll let you know if I cave anytime soon :)
