CS1 or CS10 Center Channel?
I'm curious on which one is better overall specification wise. I can either buy the CS1 on www.newegg.com for $99, or a manager at a store near me called HHGREGG is selling me the CS10 for $114 instead of the $179 list price. I'm unsure if this is a good deal or not, it seems like it, and it seems like a solid speaker, but if the CS1 is better overall, I don't want to be stupid and pay $14+ for a speaker that isn't as good as one I can get for $14 less. :P

I've got the cs10 and it's great. It's essentially just the updated model of the cs1, so they sound similar. Both have two 5.25" woofers and a 1" tweeter. The cs1 was released in 2004 if I remember correctly, and the cs10 released this year. Either would work just as well IMO. The finish is nicer on the cs10 if that's worth $14 to you.Mains - TSi200

Thanks a lot dude. That's all I was really curious about. Yeah I'm going to go ahead and take that deal from that guy considering I don't have to wait for the CS1 to be shipped, etc., plus if anything goes wrong I'll be able to take it back to the store and what not, and yeah, I really do like the look of it.
I'm getting a shelf made for it today and it should look pretty nice. I'm excited. My current center channel is a crappy Sony one that is like, 5+ years old from a like, 3.0 AV Receiver package. It's terrible. Haha.

I got my CS10 .
I love it, it was worth every penny. It's a huge upgrade from my old crappy Sony center channel, haha.
Really improved my HT.
Damn of a steal @ $114.
