Hey there. I've been reading this sites posts over the years and this is a great site with some great contributors. Here's my situation...I have RTA 11t mains (original owner, well taken care of with no work ever done) and am looking to add e center and surrounds to them. I'm leaning towards vintage or near vintage equipment in an attempt to timbre match the 11T's. from my readings/research, will the cs350ls or the cs400i be good as a center and the fx300i or fx500i for the surrounds. will most likely be using a harman kardon 354 receiver. thanks for any assitence and thanks for all your input into this site. It's great.

    I used to be in your shoes years ago but I had the 11tl's. I ended up buying the Polk CS250S center which did a pretty good job. I remember that the biggest thing was trying to match the tweeters. Seeing as you have the SL2000's in your 11t's I would think any of the CS series centers would do a good job. However, I'm sure others will chime in on this.

    By the way, Welcome to Club Polk!

    I would go with a CSi5 or CSi6a or build one using part from a Monitor 10. YMMV.
    I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D
