Review 3 of 36

Price Paid:  $400.00

Summary:
I really like this speaker. It matches perfectly with my pair of rt1000i. I have had many compliments on my setup, which includes the rt1000i as the fronts, the cs400 center, and rt55i's in the rear. Talk about perfect tonality and seamless movie experience. Couldn't be more satisfied.

Strengths:
Polk quality

Weaknesses:
nothing so far

Review 4 of 36

Price Paid:  $350.00 from circuit city

Summary:
This center channel is great. I just recently bought a pair of polk rti100's and they are perfectly matched. This speaker sounds so good in movies. I prefer music, but when I watch movies, this speaker does it all. I like the fact that it is capable of producing bass. Most center channel speakers are too whimpy and can't produce all the sound effects, but this speaker sounds perfect in all situations. My next purchase will be DVD audio or sacd, because i like to listen to music most. I am looking forward to using this center channel in that aspect. I also plan on getting the rti38's for the rear. wow i am excited. bravo POLK

Strengths:
great speaker

Weaknesses:
none

Similar Products Used:
tested many at the store. Nothing compares

Review 5 of 36

Price Paid:  $300.00 from Circuit city

Summary:
I bought this thing and first of the only bad thing is the size , you need space for her. The sound is absolutely stunning, its so clear and detailed, had to turn it down a tad because it was overpowering my rt800s(polk), truly a serious sounding powqerful center channel. CC hads them on clearence for 200 as of late find a store with one in stock and snag it.Obviously it pairs better with polk all around.

Strengths:
amazing sound clarity

Weaknesses:
its huge

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
