    Hello again folks.
    Finally got a chance to pick up the CS350 center channel project again. I was able to locate a CS350 on CL, and here are some photos of the crossover.
    Looks like I have the old sandcast resistor?
    Is there enough info in these photos to determine if there would be much benefit to the crossover upgrade?
    Thanks again!!!

    I have both with and without the resistor, the one without sounds a little better. So you might try and jump the resistor and see if you like it that way.

    FYI for what it's worth, I bought the LSiM 704 last christmas, using it with CRS+ L-R fronts. It's a great match.

    +1 if you find that the CS isnt what you are looking for try the LSiM 704 or 706.

    Remove the resistor and install a jumper. Install a 5.8uf Sonicap in place or the purple electrolytic. Easy upgrade

    How do they compare?

    Does the tweeter in the LSiM centers sound like the tweeter in the Legend line?

    The tweeter's are similar, yes. I would guess that CS400 or the CS350i would be better matches for your mains, I know that @EndersShadow among several others use oneof those with SDAs...
