Best Deal for 5 speakers set up
I heard these speakers at a local retail store, and had very crystal clear highs which really impressed me out of these speakers. i saw the tag on them and were $600, way to much to upgrade my speakers that came with my HTIB. so i checked amazon and saw them at an incrediable deal for $197! i been wanting these things for my room, which bout 14' x 14' not bad size. and like i expected these things punch real loud mids and highs at crystal clear sounds, my receiver is kinda lacking their potential(yamaha htr-5935), compared to the better onkyo avr powering these things at the store. but will soon upgrade my reciever to feed em better watts and sound. overall you will be amazingly surprised how well these perform. and highly recomend them for a room where u dont have alot of space for towers and bulky bookshelf speakers. these things are really solid and little bit bigger and heavier then they appear, really well built. just check out polkaudio.com to get full specs on these and the rm20's (which is the center that comes with this package). if you already have a sub, like i did,(Velodyne vrp1000, not bad sub for my size room) these speakers a definate MUST! at its price, thanks

fyi: they come with screwable mounting brackets for all the speakers and screws are provided.

Great little system
The clarity and warmth of these speakers really impress me every time I turn on my system. Paired with my Onkyo surround receiver, I am very happy with the purchase. The speakers are heavy for their size and feel very solid. It's tough to tell from the picture, but the ports are on the top angled surface, and the speaker grill has a port diffuser to disperse the sound. I bought them when they were on sale for $199; if they were regular price I would probably have had a harder time pulling the trigger. The wall mounting plates are average, a keyhole hanger design. It would be nice if they were designed to anchor to speaker stands; I had to use double sided adhesive on the bottom of the speaker to secure mine.

Great sound, value and looks!
I got these to go along with a flat panel, PS3 and dayton 10" sub so I could enjoy blueray movies, NASCAR, music and the occasional game. After using them for a few weeks I may never leave the house for entertainment again.

They are small and come with some mounting plates for the wall. I used these for the front three but opted to use omni mounts for the back because of the shape of my room.

I have no regrets, would buy this again and only wish they sold a 7 speaker set because adding two individual speakers cost more than half the price of all five.

Amazon.com Product Description
The name "Monitor" is special to Polk Audio. The original Polk Audio Monitor Series, produced in the mid-1970s, ushered in the modern loudspeaker era by setting the standard for performance and value. The original Monitor Series is the line that made Polk Audio famous with its simple, sturdy construction, clear, accurate sound, powerful bass and superior imaging all at a price that made great sound available to everyone.

The newly reborn Monitor Series is classic Polk: a quality-built, affordable line of high performance loudspeakers for music and home theater. They are highly efficient, so they can be driven by unpretentious receivers, and they are voice matched for lifelike surround sound environments. The Monitor Series boasts a stylish contemporary look, modern titanium faces, and bold stabilizer feet on the tower models. Built for speed, sound quality and value, the Monitor Series is a great introduction to high performance sound.

The CS1 center speaker has been designed to be the perfect match for Monitor Series speakers in multi-channel systems. The CS1 features a high efficiency design to reveal the classic Polk Audio sound (open, spacious and clear) even when driven by modestly-powered amplifiers and receivers.

The 1" (25mm) fabric/polymer composite dynamic balance dome tweeter with powerful neodymium magnet structure delivers clear and detailed high frequency response for realistic reproduction of vocals and instruments. Ultimate flexibility comes via the reversible-design cabinets that can be turned upside down to aim up when placed under a video monitor.

Customer Reviews

Great center speaker
I bought this to join with my Polk Monitor 50s and it works great. Dialogue sounds much clearer. I still have to turn up the center speaker's volume because a lot of movie soundtracks STILL like to drown out their dialogue with sound effects and make the dialogue volume low and the sound effects blast. It looks great and is somewhat huge compared to my flat RCA speaker.

The only con is that the speaker rises slightly above the bottom of my LCD TV screen, so I have to put a cushion under me or find some way to place it lower (they are both on one table right now).

Fantastic product!
I bought this center speaker to complement my Polk R50s and R150s.
Perfect combo at the best price. Amazon did it again!

Polk Audio CS1 with BOSE supporting cast
I was using a Bose double cube for my center channel. It was weak, and insufficient. I decided to go with the PA CS1, wow what a difference. Great sound at a lower volume. Vocals are clear and defined. I tested the unit listening to that "movie previews guy" voice. EXACTLY like it is in the theater. AMAZING. Even regular TV voices/narration sound waaay better, (I watch alot of NGEO, TruTV, Discovery etc.) programs that have lots of narration.
One note, it's big. But if your TV is 50in or larger, it looks decent. I think if it was with a smaller TV 42 in or smaller it would look overwhelming. If you have a large rear projection TV >60in, like I do, it looks great sitting on top of it, like a "beefed" up version of your TV. I like this look personally. Maybe it's a guy thing. I wouldn't get this if you don't like big speakers, and want to be discrete about it. But I'm personally convinced you will NOT get the same sound out of a BOSE center channel than you would with this. BOSE double cubes are great for surround, but that center channel was weak.

Clean, clear, and good price
This is my first foray (actually it was a gift) into Polk Audio merchandise. I am pleased with the crisp, clear, and detailed high frequency sound it emits. It has considerable resolution and articulation that helps deliever lifelike representations of vocals and instruments. There is virtually no distortion, and it sits above my T.V., which sometimes speakers and T.V.s will play interference with each other, but not this monitor. I have it hooked up to my Sony STR-DE697 Receiver, and it has been able with great clarity to handle high volumes. This is a great buy, even if you have a modest receiver

Really Good stuff Man!
This speaker replaced cheap radio shack center channel,that never really gave decent sound. Especially dialog on movie soundtracks... My wife would always say"What did he just say?" or "I can't hear them " etc. Haven't had that problem anymore. Made the biggest sound differece in speaker setup because so much of dolby 5.1 is though the center speaker. This got a good review in CNET rated 7 of 10. it is really well built and quite large. 16x7x9in It fit in my setup but might be too large for some tastes.. But the sound is VERY clear and accurate, Great for sports movies and music too, its a good choice without going broke..

Worth every dollar
I purchaced this speaker along with four Polk Monitor 30 satalites, a Pioneer VSX-1017TXV-K receiver, and a Velodyne VX-10 sub about two months ago. I did tons of research and read hundreds of reviews for about a month before I pulled the trigger. The center channel sound is a perfect match (to no surprise) with the other Polk Monitor speakers. The sound is warm and crisp, but not too bright. Voices sound natural and well defined. When watching a movie, it really feels like i'm in a theater. My budget was 900 dollars and I can't believe what I was able to get. Through my research, I don't think you can do much(if any) better for 900 dollars.
