I bought my first HD TV and am upgrading my stereo also. I puchased a Denon 1910 and two Monitor 70 for my front speakers. I am looking at picking up a center speaker and choosing between CS2 and a Monitor 60. I haven't decided if the speaker will be laying down flat or standing up. What are your recomendations?
Thanks

    +1 on the CS2, it is an awesome center and I run one with my 70's. Unless you can stand the Monitor 60 up vertically I would forget about running on laying down as your center. Good luck and welcome to Club Polk.

    M60 on its side? Bad idea! M60 as a center between two M70s in the upright position...would probably work if you have that kind of room.

    But I have a CS2 as well and I don't think you need much more than that.
