Summary:
This is the best center channel I have heard so far. I do A B test with Martin Logan, paradigm, Dunlevy, and to my surpise, this polk had a best sound. I run a lexicon preamp powered by adcom amps with Vandersteen mains.

Strengths:
Clear realistic vocals, able to handle quality bass, very efficient

Weaknesses:
None

Summary:
I actually have the polk cs400 center, but i just want to comment on this one too. I know that they are identical. This speaker is awesome. nuff said. I posted on the polk cs400, rti100's and the rt1000i's. All of these speakers sound great. Polk makes some of the best damn speakers around. especially in it's price class. Nothing can compare.

Strengths:
too many to list.

Weaknesses:
nothing to list

Summary:
Wow !! What a great center. I'd thought about buying this center to get me through until I was ready to spend a wad on speakers but I think it just might stay where it's at. It's a good addition to a speaker set up with the rt55i's I've got for fronts.

System:
Mitsubishi 55" rear projection.
Denon 3802 receiver.
Polk rt55' fronts.
Polk cs400i center.
Polk fx500 surrounds and backs.
Velodyne Sub.(Awesome!!!)

Strengths:
Clean and works well with moderate system. Well worth every penny!!

Weaknesses:
Discontinued!!!

Price Paid:  $135.00 from the wiz

Summary:
This monster by far has to be the best center channel out there less than $400.
With the twin 6.5 woofers and the trilaminate tweeter it provides excelent detail and low end when it needs to.

Strengths:
Handles everything that is thrown at it whith ease...movies, dvd-a (multichannel music), SACD..and more

Weaknesses:
size of cabinet (not really a problem)

Summary:
I'm a sales person in Home Theater for Future Shop and have listened to many centre channels carried by us.

This product is excellent, the sound is like the movie theater if not better. It is large and heavy, because of it's quality.

The system that I'm running currently includes.
RT 800i in the front
RT 800i in the back
Bipolar 300fx i in the rears a well
polk audio sub in the front 250
polk audio sub in the back 250

Reciever is a Harmon Kardon 320
All cables are top of the line Masters series with gold connectors
Bi amped all speakers

The system just Rocks, other sales people and friends would rather watch movies at my house then the theater itself.

Strengths:
Quality is more than excellent, I sell the stuff.

Weaknesses:
The only reason I'm using polk 250 subs is because I got an excellent deal through the manufacturer.

I stongly recommend purchasing the Velodyne Sub 10 to 12".
Polk sub 250 is not strong enough, GET THE VELODYNE I AM!
