Polk 50's and a CS10

[Grevlin]

I just pulled the trigger on a Polk CS10 to go with my new Polk monitor 50's for left and right.

Already bought the CS10 so please tell me it matches well with the 50's...

[Siri]

shouldnt be a problem, the CS10 is just a newer version of the CS1

[Rob J in WNY]

Timbre will be as good as it gets between the M50s and the CS10. Very good choice.

[Grevlin]

I thought so, I heard the CS10 at Best Buy, and it sounded GREAT. Got it for $130 at NewEgg. I realized the center is really important for the front sound field, and mine REALLY needed upgrading.

Two days and counting...

I LOVE my CS10 (especially since I got it from Ebay/Polk Direct fo $92!!). So crystal clear, clean, right IN Your Face IMO. You will Enjoy it for sure Dude.

Ditto & ditto --- mine was like New as well. It all depends on how you feel about buying them Brand New or Refurb. from the Mfg. - Like the 706 I bought with that Club Onkyo sale they had last week thru Sunday. I paid $430.10 (w/No Freight & No Tax!) for the 706; ordered last Friday, came in today. Ordered my NEW Front T90e's off NEWEGG on Monday (again, Free Shipping & No Tax) and they came in Today, just TWO Days delivery. I just finished going over my 706 with a flashlight and didn't notice any nicks or marks. But it is night-time so maybe I'll detect a nick or mark in Daylight tomorrow when I start to set it up. Maybe not. Plus it has a 1-year (Limited--whatever that means--??) Warranty.

So I don't think you overpaid. That's prob. one of the lower prices for it NEW, and if that makes you feel more comfortable, that's all that matters in the end. My 2 PSW-10's are Like new, but not brand new. 1 was from a guy I came across on this site, and it had only been taken out of the box to test, and put back as he already had 2 (!!--long story), so to me, it Was NEW. The other one was a Ebay/Polk Direct store buy - both were $199 total. So I have a mix of Brand New and Pretty much new (90% or more, to ME) incredible sounding Polk speakers. The Tsi100's will be my last buy for the Rear Surrounds off of NEWEGG, completing my Audio upgrade - and they will be New.

Good Luck!

No buyer's regret, I cant wait to power up that thing

Next on my upgrade list:

Onkyo 606

Sub- earth shaking if possible

Maybe: Playstation 3 - for 99.9% movies

When I move back into my house:
HD Projector and 106" screen

You know- the more I upgrade, the less impact regular movie theaters have on me (not considering movie content)

[sinister184]

^sounds good. that order even.

[zweet77]

Yeah polk direct is the goods for sure got my csi a4 from there it is in brand new condition

+1 on the CS10...very good center speaker for sure.

The 606 will get the job done for sure. I do not know you $ situation, but a really good sub I hear that has gotten rave review is the eD A2-300. There is a thread on it if you would like more info. But for around $350, you get excellent bang for the buck, not to mention performance. That's the sub I would recommend anyway. The PS3, as it seems you already know, is an excellent blu-ray player.

And I hope you get back into your house real soon.....106" screen huh? Very nice indeed!

[bongzilla]

You will be please with the CS10.

Go to:http://www.accessories4less.com/make...ceivers/2.html

Here is the place to get your Onkyo 606. The get refurbs in about 1 every two weeks. I have used them twice and they are AWESOME!! Ships from Orlando and cost are reasonable to get them delivered. Still 1 year warranty from Onkyo and saves about 300 bucks. That is almost enough left over for a PS3 or an earth shaking sub!!

Now you just need some Polk 40 surrounds! *hint hint*

Grats on your speakers. I'm sure you'll enjoy them.

How do the 40s work for surrounds? They were just too big for me. I got the 30s as side and rear surrounds.

No, they're TOO big, Overkill, bad, bad, bad. The 30's work great for most needs.

(Why, Yes, I Am trying to possibly get the 40's)

Aesthetically, yeah they're pretty big. They're fine with me even with my sort of weird setup but my wife (who's 7 months pregnant) is getting a little fed up with them. I think they sound great too- I was watching Baraka last night and was amazed by the overall soundfield. I can understand the need to get something smaller, though.
