Just purchased my first set of Polks.
I have 2 Rt800is as mains.
2 RT5s as surrounds.
1 c275 center channel.

The center has problem with one of the drivers. The spider has torn off the basket and it doesn't look like an easy fix. I found a Csi5 for under 100 dollars in my neck of the woods. How bad or good would the csi5 match with the RT800i.

Thanks

    CSi5 for under $100. I say go for it. I've run one in my RTi set-up and it sounded great. Make sure you've got the room....it's a dandy of a speaker.

    The CSi5 will match up very well with the RT800i's.

    For less than $100 it's a steal! I say go for it!
