I priced this center channel speaker all over the web and ended up saving about $50.00 at Amazon. The speaker was packaged well, arrived quicker than expected, and works perfectly. I would highly recommend Polk Audio products and Amazon to anyone. I'm very happy with the whole package!

I recently upgraded my system to an Onkyo TX-NR609 receiver and added Polk Monitor 70's as the front speakers and Monitor 30's as surrounds and backs. My Polk CS1 center speaker was very good but it was overwhelmed by the Monitor 70's. I moved the CS1 to the bedroom system and installed this CS2 center.

The CS2 is a huge improvement. Movie vocal tracks are now clear and precise. I cannot emphasize strongly enough how much we have enjoyed the CS2 and highly recommend.

I had to improvise on the placement of the speaker due to its huge size. I placed the speaker on the bottom row of my television stand and flipped the speaker upside down which points the speakers in an upward direction. Also reversed the grill. I had researched flipping the speaker and was assured it would be no problem.

Be sure to confirm you have room for this unit and if you don't have room, make room!

There are just a ton of these on ebay as re-manufactured by polk which led me to call polk before buying. Customer service was very helpful. They informed me it is a mid level or high end entry level product - and many people who are new to surround sound blow the tweeter by over powering the mid.

I have Klipsch Reference series tower speakers and a SW-110 sub and am pushing it all through a sony str-9 series..- I cheaped out on the mid after blowing my $$$ on all that because the frequency #'s of the polk looked good to me - I adjusted the db and frequency of the mid with my sony and it does seem to do a decent job- considering the price so far I can't complain. I just hope I too don't 'overpower' the tweeter lol!

I respect amazon- any time there has ever been an issue they have stepped up and took care of it- I buy from amazon with confidence.

Speaker is larger than I expected. Beautiful Cherry Finish. Speaker works better than I expected. I haven't really had a chance to run it on a wide range of music.
