Center Speaker Input - Blu-ray Forum

igotcabada · 01-29-2009, 12:54 PM

I'm looking to replace my center speaker, only problem is that I only have 18 1/2" (width) to work with

. This gives me very limited options.

My current center speaker is from an onkyo htib purchased for about $500 3/4 years ago.

I'm looking at the following

Boston Acoustics CS 225C

Infinity C250
http://www.amazon.com/Infinity-Chann...&s=electronics

Polk CSR
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_107CSR/...SR.html?tp=189

Am I going to see marked differences in any of these speakers from what I have now? Anyone have experience with them or have any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

For reference, current set up is:
Polk T90e Fronts
Polk PSW10 Sub
Onkyo HTIB Fronts have been moved to Surrounds

I just picked up a Polk RM8C at Crutchfield. Very tiny if you have limited space, but sounds incredible for its size.

What fronts do you have with the Polk RM8C ?

Can anyone weigh in on the Boston Acoustics or Infinitiy?

I'd figure out a way to get a bigger center to fit in your setup, since the T90e's need either the CS1, CS2, CS10 or CS20 center in order to properly timbre- match.

Probably will just have to go with the CS1 since its 18" and hope it fits

thanks for the input
