Hello All,

This is my first post here, so plz be gentle.

As shown in my sig below I have RT600i's as my fronts. Currently I have a cerwin vega center. I have been ok with the speaker, but really think that I might have messed when I purchased this speaker years ago. What polk product would match well? Also, any comments on my system would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chip

    CS400i would be a better match for your fronts.

    The CS400i, which you'll have to find used, has the same drivers as your towers but you'll have to tame it a tad as it is more speaker than your tower. Should be voice matched.
    I have the CS400I and the rt800i which is the next one up in your generation 600. I won't trade them I still enjoy them emmensly
