Thanks in advance!

Well, neither if you're just gong to keep the RM6750's. It's going to completely unbalance the system. If you're going to upgrade to some Polk towers along the way, then I recommend the CS2.

I would say the CS2 just because that is a great price and over 50% of any movie or TV show's audio comes from your center channel because of the dialogue. The price markdown on the CS2 is the cheapest I have seen, making it a steal. You will hear a difference for the better right away because of better depth and clarity in the dialogue. Keep in mind that both are quite large, especially the CS2, so make sure you have the room for either first.

I will going to upgrade slowly the rest of speaker, but right now I'm only looking for center channel.

BTW I'm planing to get the monitor 50 or monitor 60 in the future. Which is the better match cs1 or cs2?

CS2 sounds great with the 60's. Personally I would go for it over the CS1 regardless as they're pretty much all timbre-matched.

I agree with aramis. Since they are all timbre-matched, it would come down to either price or size to help make your decision. Since the prices are rather close, and if size isn't an issue, go with the CS2. You can always dial it in later to produce a more seemless sound when you get new towers up front.

Is there a lot of difference in sound quality that the normal person would notice?

Thanks again for all your reply.

I highly doubt it. You would be hard pressed unless you listen with your ear closely to the speaker itself, then you might hear something different. Regardless of what each speaker is capable of in regards to the specs, they can sound very similiar if set up properly.

I pulled the trigger on cs1, I measured my tv stand and it was too big.

forsberg21 & aramis109, thanks again for your all help!

ed if you have the extra money try to get the monitor 60s they are real cheap now i think 120 each. i got mine for 150 and i would buy them again for that price.
