Customer Reviews

Excellent Center speaker for the price..
I used to have the Bose speakers which I used as the center channel also. I was never happy with the sound quality. Recently I upgraded my HT system and decided to change my speakers. This center speaker has a great crisp sound, and definetly enhances the Surround sound.. Highly recommend it.

Polk Audio CSi3 Center Channel Speaker (Cherry)
In 1989 I was in the position to purchase an upper end stereo system. Well what I thought was an upper end anyway. Alma Stereo and Hi-Fi in Farmington Hills MI carried better electronic products than the locations that also had washers, driers and stoves. This is where I became hooked on Polk Audio. After standing in front of what seemed like a bazillion speakers (some I could afford and others not) I narrowed it down to the Polk monitor series JR5. Then of course came the rest of the package; tuner amp, turntable, cassette recorder/player (no CDs yet).
I packed it all up and was in hog heaven with sound for years. Then it happened the, speakers blew, or so I thought. It turned out to be the amps main channels not the JR5s. This started the rebuilding of my stereo system. I went on a buying frenzy the included Polk Li7s, Yamaha RX-N600 & the Polk Audio CSi3. Since the Jr5s were just fine I am once again in hog heaven. The CSi3 was not a disappointment, delivering wonderful sound in any genre. That it's made in USA is a plus. Music or block buster movies it handles them both with no problem. If you can find the deal as I did from J&R Music and Computer World you will be very happy.

Excellent
I got this to match my Monitor series speakers. AVS forum users warned me that this was not "timbre matched" and that it might appear to be brighter than the Monitor fronts. However the Polk website says that the Csi3 is timber matched to go with ANY Polk speaker.. So I took a chance and got it from JandR.

The difference from the stock Onkyo is HUGE. On a good source, you will feel the performer in your room if you close your eyes. Very nice finish, majestic looking but large and heavy. Can take a 12AWG wire easily.
Well recommended if you can find them under 200.
