I have polk rti10s and have been very happy with them. I am looking to add a center channel to the system in the next month.

I have come across good deals on the csi40 and the csi5 is at the very top of my price range.

Is there going to be a big differnce in these speakers or do you all think they are comaprable?

thanks.

    CSi5, then you wont' need to upgrade your center again. We all tend to upgrade front left and right speakers.

    I love how music can brighten up a bad day.

    Hello,
    My nephew has the RTi10 and they rock solid. The CSi5 is the one to get. It has a nice adjustment on the support leg on the back. One of the best centers I've heard, in my humble opinion.
    Cheers, Jed

    The CSi5 for sure. If you watch alot of movies it's a must have. I read somewhere that the center is the most important, 70-75% of the movie. It makes sense if it's true because i think everyone would want the closest vocal reproduction as possible.
