- High Quality - Low Price
The Polk Audio CS1 can't be beat at this price. For budget conscious speaker buyers or those who want a more powerful, detailed sound than that delivered by most satellite speaker systems, the Polk Audio Monitor series is an exceptional product. The Monitor series have been greatly reduced in price since they are no longer manufactured, and since replaced by the TSi series in Polk's speaker series.
Pair with Bookshelf speakers or with Towers and you won't be disappointed. It's sound ... Read More
Rating: - Great Center Speaker
I have recently upgraded all of my speakers to Polk and have not been let done.This speaker does an amazing job and sounds great.I would recommend to anyone looking to upgrade their sound quality.
Rating: - Great speaker
Bigger than i expected, but that's my own fault for not looking at the measurements in advance.Other than that, it's a great speaker at a great price.
Rating: - Polk CS1 Center channel - very clear dialogue
I bought this brand new and couldn't be happier.I hated how I had to crank up my sony xbr3 speakers to be able to hear dialogue in one scene and then have to turn them down in an action packed scene so they wouldn't be blown out.
The CS1 sounds incredibly great for the price.My room is approx. 16x20x7 and this is plenty center channel.As you can see from the pictures I added, I also have a Polk Monitor 60's center and a Polk PSW111 sub.I am in the process of getting 4 Polk Monitor ... Read More
Rating: - Great budget center channel speaker
I got this center channel speaker to go with my Polk Monitor 50 tower speakers. Acoustically it is a perfect match for the towers and presents a seamless sound stage. If you have any of the Polk Monitor series speakers up to the 50's. I highly recommend it. For the higher model numbers with the larger drivers, go with the matching CS2. Sounds great at a VERY attractive price point, recommended.
