Polk Audio - CS1 - CS2?

[x-gh0st-x]

I was wondering if there is a big sound difference between the cs1 and cs2?

There is.First the CS2 cabinet is Much larger then the CS1 cabinet.
So if you plan on using a CS2 you will need a large area to place the speaker at.
Also the CS2 uses a pair of 6 1/2 inch woofers instead of the 5 1/4 inch woofers in the CS1.

This means the CS2 goes much deeper in both special effects and in voices as well.The CS2 is a good match for the Polk Monitor 70's that have (4) 6 1/2 inch drivers for their bass and mid range.

The CS1 is a good match for the Monitor 60's,50's,40's,and 30,s;since they are all based on 5 1/4 inch drivers..

Both center channels are incredible performers and perhaps the best center speakers for their price.
So do not hesitate to add one of these awesome center channels to your line-up.

Just remember you will need a good amount of room in order to mount the CS2.

Figures never lie.....this pretty much sums it up. If price is not an issue, then this is an obvious choice. As talstarone said, keep in mind the dimension and weight of these speakers, as they are pretty solid and do take up some room.

I went with the CS1 because the CS2 was so damn big. Going from the RM6750 set I about fell over when I pulled out the CS1, so I'm glad I did. The new CS1 is so tall I had to build a riser just so I could see my TV. I sit about 10' away and the CS1 does a fine job with the center channel audio.

Thanks!

I was thinking of buying the cs2 but its 3 1/2 inches to big for my cabinet
aNd the cs1 is almost the same size as my cabinet

So my next question is what should i do

Buy a stand and lay it next to my cabinet ( if so from where (.com )
or just buy the cs1


( I have a plasma so the stand fills up almost all my cabinet.... so i can't put the the speaker next to the tv or above the tv because its behind a window )

I own both the CS1 and the CS2 are both good quality and sounding speakers. If you don't want to buy or build a stand and the CS1 fits just fine for what you have now the CS1 will not disappoint

What about a CS1 say on a wall shelf above a 60" DLP set.... will this work?

For both of you, see the Above TV Mount in my Sig. below - it works great for my new CS2 (17 lbs) & is rated to hold up to 30 lbs. New Pics in my June 09' Gallery as well to give you an idea. It is designed to go over/on top of a DLP or LCD/Plasma, so it should work for either of you. Just an idea. Good luck.

How about on a wall shelf right above and behind the DLP set. Not very fond of putting sticky tape on the tv

Yea, I hear you. That could work once you find a couple studs on the wall.

Some dry wall anchors should do the trick

cs2 has bigger woofers

i have a CS1 and wouldnt change it for the CS2

my 5.25" drivers match my t90e fronts & monitor 30 rears

why upgrade to a cs2 center that has 'lower sound' yet you still cut the hz off @ 80 across the board?

i want everything to b perfectly matched, which it is in my setup.

unless i bought monitor 70s, i would never consider getting a CS2......thats my opinion
