I have the original Polk SDA II's and was looking for a center that would be as voice-matched as possible with my SDA's and I was recommended by Polk the CSi A6 center as they said it was the center most voice-matched with the SDA's. Does anyone have objections to that? Is there an older center that is more voice-matched? I can wait to get one but am missing my old center channel (even though it was really crappy:D). I will buy used or damaged or whatever. I really couldn't care less how it looks if anyone has one for sale. As long as it works (if not, I could always fix it:)). I also just got won some Polk Monitor 5jr's off eBay in perfect condition for about $30 plus shipping for the pair.:cool: They will be used as surrounds with my SDA's all powered by my Onkyo TX-SR805 receiver. I was thinking about getting some Monitor 4's as back surrounds as well to replace my existing Onkyo speakers (aren't that great). Is that a good idea? Is it worth it to replace them? Thanks for all of the help in advance!:p:cool:

    My CS300 seems to match good, but the CSiA6 is your best bet. It is big and make sure you have room for it.

    Get the A6. It is the best.
    Be patient and you might find one on Polk's e-bay store for dirt cheap ($130.00).

    I have a set of SDA SRS 2.3's and had an CS300 for the center. This center had been updated at the same time that I had a set of Monitor 10's done. This Monitor/CS combo worked well together but did not work so well when I went to the SDA's. I have now added a LSiC for the center and find that it works most excellent with my SDA SRS 2.3's. The Monitor 10's and CS300 have gone to a friend.

    I have CSi5 hooked up in a system with SDA2's. Sounds great!

    So what is the big difference between the CSi5 and CSi6? Looks like they have about the same dimensions and speakers?
