What center to buy, and where to buy it?

Hi folks, I'm looking for a slightly older Polk center channel to complete my audio system, and I'm not getting off to a good start.

I got a set of R15s and R30s a few years ago, but I didn't have the cash at the time to buy the center. Now I don't remember what model of center channel went with those! I'd like to stay in the same series/generation as the R15/R30.

I also haven't had much luck finding slightly older Polk stuff for sale. So my questions:

1. Which center channel is appropriate?
2. Where can I find one for sale?

Thanks in advance! Sorry if this isn't the right forum for this subject, but none of the others seemed appropriate.

    I personally would go with the CSi5 center speaker, running around $400.00, great sound and amazing for any theater set up. I do not know what went with the r class speakers set up. I looked around and found them at www.acousticsounddes and they have high reviews on the store to be good.

    Welcome, Eriol.

    OneCall has the CS2 on sale for $158.99 and the CS1 for $80.89, in either cherry or black.

    Polk Authorized online dealer, so you get the full warranty.


    Got my daughter and son-in-law R15's (for side and rear surrounds) and R30's for the fronts with a CS1 a while back to replace their Insignia HTIB.
    They're happy and the whole shebang sounds nice for the price.

    I'd suggest the CS1 for you for now; it'll definitely hold down the fort and they all blend well together.
