    I don't think either of these timbre match your 50's. You want the CS2 for a perfect match. If you just the best center then the csi5 is certainly your best bet.

    If he goes with the CS2 like you suggest (I actually had R50's w/CS2 and I don't use the CS2 in my HT anymore and the R50's are used as side speakers), when you upgrade your speaker you will then upgrade your center again. The center channel and sub are the 2 most important speakers in you HT. Don't skimp on the center channel.

    I don't disagree with that. The fact remains, however, that his front soundstage will not be entirely seamless.

    ah yes, thanks guys. I don't see myself upgrading the fronts for a while so I guess the CS2 will do for now, by the time I want to upgrade I'm sure there will be something else.
