I've been using an old Polk 4A Monitor speaker as my center channel for awhile, and I would like to get a center channel that matches the Polk SDA 2a's which I have as left and right speakers. This could be an old or new model. I just want to match the SDA 2A as much as possible. Thanks for any help.

    First welcome to club Polk. A lot of guys don't use a center channel with SDA's. If the SDA's are set up properly I feel you don't need one. This is just an opinion. The SDA crowd is probably at 50/50 on this one.

    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    CS400/400i or the LSiC are the closest timbre matches.

    Combo rig:

    Onkyo NR1007 pre-pro, Carver TFM 45(fronts), Carver TFM 35 (surrounds)
    SDA 1C, CS400i, SDA 2B

    Hmmm, I've been thinking about going with the LSiC with the thought that I would eventually upgrade the surrounds with the LSi series, but now I don't have the money and want to get by cheaper. I haven't tried not using a center channel with movies. I might give that a try. Can you just blend the center into the left and right? Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
