They look pretty much similiar to me other than the sides of the CS10 are black vice cherry wood.

    The CS10 has a slightly wider Frequency response, the finish is different and it 'feels' more solid, weighing in at 16lbs... That's 3 lbs heavier; this probably affects the depth of the SQ, but I'm not an expert on these things. The CS10 is also half an inch shorter and about 2 inches wider.
    As far as materials, even though the sport similar size drivers, newer drivers are used, as the CS10 is years younger than the CS1.

    The CS10 is a match for the TSi series and the CS1 is a match for the Monitor series.

    They're pretty similar, they CS10 is the newer version of the CS1. I have the 10, it's a great center, but I can't wait to upgrade to a CSiA6 to match my RTi's. Like Knucklehead said, if you have TSi's go with the '10. Monitors, go with the '1.
