Looking to pick up a center, looking at these two and wondered which was better? Any help would be appreciated.

    While I can't help you decide which is better, I can tell you I recently picked up and have placed into use the CSi30 for my center. To be honest, I was looking for a center that would fit into the confines of a cabinet that I am using. The CSi30 fits and performs nicely thank you.
    Pioneer SC-07
    DVD - Pioneer BDP-51FD
    Mains - Polk Audio RTA-8T's
    Center - Polk Audio CSi 30
    Surrounds - Polk Audio FXi 3's
    Sub - Polk Audio PSW 450

    The Csi3 matches the Rti series, while I'm not positive about the Csi30. The point is that if you want the center to timbre match your fronts you should choose the one from the same series. If you let peopple here know what speakers you have up front they can guide you to the best center.
    MAIN: Polk Lsi9s; Polk PSW505; Lsic (in box); Onkyo SR-875; Parasound 2250; Cambridge Audio 740C; LG BD370
    OFFICE: Polk Lsi7; REL T3; HK 3490; CA 840W; Onkyo C-S5VL
    BENCHED: CS20; OWM3s

    The csi30 matches the rti70/100/150 (and of course the bookshelves from that series). The Csi3 matches the line of rti tht came after that, rti8/10/12.

    I'm using the CSi30 with my RTA-8T's. Am I that mismatched?
