Are there still vendors selling the CS400i new, or is this something I'll need to barter for on the forums? Looking be buy one in the next few months....IF it will be a worthwhile upgrade from my CS245i.

    I thought it was indeed a worthwhile upgrade. I moved my 245i downstairs to the kids recroom system. You might have a tough time finding one new though. I think most vendors closed them out a while ago. Got my 400i from Crutchfield for $299 when they were closing 'em out. I think one would go great with your system. Good luck.

    A thousand dollars and it's your's :). Seriously though, you're going to have a hard time finding one new, but you should try out a csi40.....the tweeters shouldn't be too much different than your tri lams.....I've heard my buddy's and it sounds VERY similar to my 400i....definitely a something you should consider, as the difference between my old 245i and 400i was night and day.

    I wouldn't mind the csi40 up front so much if I didn't have RT55i's flanking it...the CS400i just seems like such a perfect sonic and especially visual match. Guess I'll keep an eye out for a used one for now.

    Troy may be looking to sell his, but that won't be until late June/July.....

    I think he has the original 400, not the 'i' model.

    Cheers,

    Wow, thats a great price. Do you have the URL or where I can find it in the hometheater forum? I'd be willing to buy it tomorrow for such a good price.

    --I'm only looking for the 400i model. Nothing against the 400 though, just trying to make my "matched dream system." "Dream" at least till I start making bigger $$$ for some LSi action in years down the road.

    DH, I have no idea. I had plenty to drink last night, all I can figure is I was abbreveating your name somehow.

    Man my head hurts.

    Mike,
    Goodluck finding the CS400i. Just be careful when searching for one online. I thought i was buying a 400i off of ebay. The seller used a picture of the 400i, but the description was of a CS400. I was not too dissapointed though. The 400 blends very well with my older RT10's.
    Beer on tap is great, until the keg runs dry and the liqour store is closed!:D

    Thanks for the responces guys.
    Mantis- That has been my idea from the begining, and I would rather wait and find all matching speakers than risk compromising timber matching.
    DavidV- Thanks for the input, but I am pretty sure that I will end up with Troy's center channel. The cs400 and the cs400i are only slightly different anyhow, and if it were me I actually might have wanted to go for the cs400 from the get-go with the thought that the older line would probably blend better. You got a great center, nothing to be regretful of.
    Mike
