CS2 or CS20??

[aramis109]

LOL.

Well, it's already been said, but they're the same speaker. Cheaper cabinet on the CS2 and it's a tank. I loved it when I had it though- very solid center speaker. If you're worried about looks and matching, just pony up the extra cash. I'm the same way.

As far as sonically, there may be a slight difference due to the difference in cabinet size but realistically... you'd be challenged to hear it. T90e's, the Monitors, the CS1/CS2/CS10/CS20 all will work together.

Not saying that the CS20 is far off, but polk has acknowledged that there is a slight difference in sound, although hardly noticeable. I paid $215 for my CS2 way back in June of last year, and that was a good deal at the time. The price it's at now, I'd be all over it regardless of the color and what not. And as for the grills being on or off, I think having them on helps with sound dispersion, but that's just me. I'm OCD too..but you could always remove the drivers and refinish the CS2 faceplate how you want it. I would take a dive at it.

Cool, then I def. hope someone PM's me on the barely Month-old CS10!
This $119.99 for the CS2 is making me to say the least!

Yea, that's kind of what I was thinking Audio wise. - Plus, I keep the grills on most of the time anyway. I've only had them off a few times & will again when I UPdate my Gallery soon, as I think they look Sweet w/out the grills on.

the t90 is 5.25 drivers xs 3

my cs1 is 5.25 drivers xs 2

the cs2 is 6.5 drivers xs 2

i think (i;m a newbie ) 50% or more of ht sound comes via the center channel

a LOT comes from the center channel. i dont need more 'mod range bass' from the center. plus the drivers of my center match that of my t90e......why would i 'need' bigger drivers?

if someone can explain this to me it would be appreciated
