I am running a set of rta11ts and a set of ls50s. I am looking for a center channel. The cs350ls comes highly recommended but I would be open to other compatible centers as well. I live in salt lake city, ut and would prefer a local pickup. Thanks.

    Missed out on my modified CS350-LS,
    the dude that got it agreed that it was
    far better than the original drivers.

    I didnt judge anything. I came here to ask other people opinions. It seems that everyone on this site disagreed with you on the replacement drivers. Of course if they sounded good to you, then thats all that mattered. I personally just had no interest in a refurbished center with after market parts from a random company. It might have sounded fine to your ears, as everyone is different.

    I think he meant to listen to a number of centers before you judge which one you like. That being said, I have a CS350LS and it's one of the best centers I've heard.:)

    It's more of a chastisement for not jumping on the modified 350LS when he "had the chance," and instead let us, the Polk community lead him astray.

    Shall i report myself now to see if the mods can clean this thread up? I feel pretty bad that the OP got his WTB thread crapped on, he seems like a nice guy.

    I just built one up they are very impressive , it comparison to my polk cs300
    I find the cs350 "more in your face" type of center , I would say its like combining a klipsch center with a polk , I found it clean sounding but had lots of presance , lots of punch and that trilam tweeter is incredable .
    So I decided to keep my kef and listed it for sale .

    20hz and Goldenboy: feel free to send the OP a PM if you've got a center to sell him, but something tells me he is no longer looking for one a year and a half later; otherwise, it might be about time to let this one die...

    My bad, aloutah. :redface:

    A bunch of years old "wanted" threads were resurrected without any actual leads given that day, so I was just trying to calm the needless necro-storm.

    Good luck on your search!:cheesygrin:
