POLK, best speakers on the market for the money.......2004-05-09
I own two Polk RT800I tower main speakers, two Polk F/X1000 surrounds, Polk CSi30 rear center, CSi40 front center, and a polk PSW-650 subwoofer. All of this is bolted to a Kenwood VR-6070 THX rated 100 watt per channel 6.1 receiver and a Mitsubishi HD 73" widescreen gold rear projection TV. I have but two words: POLK RULES! I no longer go to the local mall theater because my system sounds better. I just wait until the movies go dvd and play them on my Samsung HD931 dvi rated dvd player. With dvi there is no digital to analog conversion. It uses a 24 pin cable for digital to digital video transfer with no signal loss. It's better than Proscan. It is the most advanced video process on the market. I also use optical cable to ship wide band audio directly from the dvd player to the Kenwood eliminating signal loss through the T.V.
But getting back to the Polk CSi40 - it's a hard driving dual 6.50" woofer plus a 1" liquid cooled silk dome tweeter system that will walk the dog. Get one, you'll like it.
You can buy professional studio speakers with better specs but the costs are in the thousands. I've owned, JBL (James B Lancing), Marantz, Boston Acoustics, Bose, etc, but I always come back to Polk. Trust me, I know what I'm talkin' about.
News flash! my eyes have been opened. I sold all my previous audio equip and upgraded to:
(1) Velodyne SPL-1200r subwoofer
(2) Kef 203 reference towers and Kef-9000KHT for front mains and center
(3) Kef surrounds
(4) Denon avr-5800 THX Ultra certified 170 watt per channel receiver

Maybe the previous crtic should break in his speaker first!!.......2003-12-22
The biggest mistake of rookie, fast to shoot critics of speakers is not breaking in the speaker. A great speaker must be "broken" in for up to 100-200 hours at a low volume to show its worth. Just put on the radio at 10% volume before you take off for a weekend. When you come back you will be very impressed.
Sorry about the lesson but i had opinions like the previous critic before an industry vetran showed me the ropes. Now my polks SING. Polk has literally destroyed my other "reference" series speakers, just give them some time.
best,
jaz

Thought Polk would actually get a center channel right this time, so I took a chance and bought the CSi40. Muffled sound with sparse mid-to-high end sound reproduction. Terribly disappointed, especially since I wasted $... for the darn thing. Go with a Klipsch center for the type sound reproduction a center channel is supposed to provide.
