Perfect compromise between sound and size! |
I bought this center channel speaker to complete my Polk Audio speaker setup. This center speaker is accompanied by RTi8's sitting next to the TV, RTi4's as rear surround sound and this CSi3 as the center channel sitting on top of my TV. I looked at the CSi5 but since I did not have a good place to put it in the center of my entertainment center I was forced to put my center channel on top of my TV, sitting on an OmniMount CCH1B Center Channel Speaker Shelf. Because it was going on top of my TV I wanted to keep the weight to a minimum to prevent it from falling down and killing my TV or itself. While I wanted to minimize the weight I didn't want to minimize the sound or quality and that is where this speaker shines. It matches my other speakers perfectly and provides ample and crisp dialogue with ease. I used to constantly turn up my sound when any dialogue came on and turn it down when the action started. With this center channel speaker I no longer have to adjust the volume and can hear everything perfectly.
If you have been listening to your home theater without a center channel then this is the perfect upgrade. You never really realize how much sound the center channel produces until you get a good one and crank up the volume. I would never listen to a home theater without one after realizing how important they really are. |

The Polk CSi3 Center Channel has definitely enhanced the audio experience. I had previously installed the Polk 8" ceiling speakers for the front and back channels and this filled in the frontal gap with a touch more base than previously available. I have a sub-woofer to purchase sometime in the near future which should compete the system. I did have to return one of the ceiling speakers for repair without any hassle. Overall, the shopping experience, service and quality of sound is Polk Audio CSi3 Center Channel Speaker (Single, Black)very satisfying. |

Great bang for the buck. |

This unit was a little larger in size than I expected. But it does sound really good. I'm not an audiophile, and it was my brother in law who helped me pick this unit out. Now I can hear the voices very clearly on certain TV Shows and movies. I'm very satisfied. |

My first center channel |
|
This is the 1st center channel and it really made a big difference at home. It is set up to work above or below you TV just by flipping it upside down. The voice and crisp highs can now be appreciated. At its price and paired up with the rti6's and fxi a4's and psw505 all from amazon, I got a great set up at a great deal. I payed half of what it would cost me at a retail shop and shipping is quick. Thanks Americancivilwar. |

Excellent Center Channel Speaker |

I did a lot of research into a product for a media room before settling on the CSi3 with the PSW404 Subwoofer to match up with an Onkyo TXSR605 deck and leftover bose acoustimass speakers and a Samsung 120Hz 46" LCD. I am very satisfied with all of them and sourced all through Americancivilwar. The voices are amazing and has the right punch in a 16'x27'theater room. Shippin was fast although the CSi3 was backordered it shipped in well enough time to get set up together and all compliment each other well. The TV still makes me weep how nice it is for sports and movies. Would definately recommend all of the above componenets for the sport-videophile on a budget. I have seen set ups that are 3-5x the cost that do no look or work as nice. great feedback from people out there did not steer me wrong. Good advice on the bargain HDMI cables as well as they work just as well for $6 dollars as the $80 cable I have through test. If there is a difference I need a warranty on my LASIK instead. |
