5 out of 5 stars The Polk tradition of unbeatable value reigns on..........2007-06-20

Go ahead, find a center channel for the same price that even comes close to the sound of the CSi3. I dare you.

When paired with a good mid-line or better receiver (my own is paired with a Yamaha RX-V557), this speaker will not let you down. During movies and video games, voices are incredibly natural. Between the silk-dome tweeter and the two drivers, this speaker can hit every frequency that human vocal chords are capable of producing; that's important for a center-channel.

Although I generally stick to stereo for most music, unless it's encoded properly for surround, this speaker will also impress during your favourite tunes. Don't expect much in the lower frequencies, but mid and highs-will be as accurate as you can imagine.

Finally, though to me, this is one of those superficial qualities, the case design allows the user to place the center below his or her television, pointed up at the user. This adds another measure of flexibility, although the fact that polk doesn't use this design in their top-line LSiC might point toward how the company really feels about such a speaker arrangement.

All-in-all, you can't go wrong with the CSi3. The average listener will be blown away, and audiophiles will be impressed with such performance at this price point. I know that I certainly am.

4 out of 5 stars Great Center Speaker!.......2004-12-02

This center speaker for the price is fantastic. The voices are very crisp and it sounds great with a dts/dolby digital receiver. I love this center speaker makes my surround sound system intense! POLK AUDIO did a great job. I even got the cheap r30 front speakers and it eally added what I was looking for. My neighbors hate them but it is worth it! Ha!
