The Polk tradition of unbeatable value reigns on..........2007-06-20

Go ahead, find a center channel for the same price that even comes close to the sound of the CSi3. I dare you.

When paired with a good mid-line or better receiver (my own is paired with a Yamaha RX-V557), this speaker will not let you down. During movies and video games, voices are incredibly natural. Between the silk-dome tweeter and the two drivers, this speaker can hit every frequency that human vocal chords are capable of producing; that's important for a center-channel.

Although I generally stick to stereo for most music, unless it's encoded properly for surround, this speaker will also impress during your favourite tunes. Don't expect much in the lower frequencies, but mid and highs-will be as accurate as you can imagine.

Finally, though to me, this is one of those superficial qualities, the case design allows the user to place the center below his or her television, pointed up at the user. This adds another measure of flexibility, although the fact that polk doesn't use this design in their top-line LSiC might point toward how the company really feels about such a speaker arrangement.

All-in-all, you can't go wrong with the CSi3. The average listener will be blown away, and audiophiles will be impressed with such performance at this price point. I know that I certainly am.

Great Center Speaker!.......2004-12-02

This center speaker for the price is fantastic. The voices are very crisp and it sounds great with a dts/dolby digital receiver. I love this center speaker makes my surround sound system intense! POLK AUDIO did a great job. I even got the cheap r30 front speakers and it eally added what I was looking for. My neighbors hate them but it is worth it! Ha!

not impressed.......2007-09-22

The Cerwin Vega center I was trying to replace was about a decade old, so I figured that technological improvements over that time-span would let me buy a better speaker for a reasonable price. Although the price is reasonable on this Polk, I was certainly not impressed with the sound produced. ALthough the CV only has one speaker and this Polk has 3 built into it, the sound on the Polk is so much quieter and less crisp. I guess I'll put it in with the tv in my bedroom. It certainly doesn't belong with my 50" Sony SXRD HDTV, my Harman Kardon receiver, or my JBL speakers.

If you're just looking for a fair speaker at a reasonable price, I'd recommend the Polk. But, if you want a center channel that produces strong and crisp sound, you should look elsewhere.

Very clear vocals in a small package.......2007-07-26

While overhauling my home theater system, I decided to try a new center speaker. Even if this speker did not work well, it could go into another room.

Wow! What a pleasant surprise to hear the sweet, clear sound this speaker produces. At less than half the size of my existing center speaker, this Polk Audio RM6752 center speaker produces at least the same amount of sound. More importantly, vocal sound through this speaker is clear and crisp.

So, this speaker will stay with my home theater system. The older center speaker can go to the other room for a 3.1 setup. As you can guess, I do recommend this speaker. Though small, it provides a sweet, clear sound for your center channel.

Good sound in a small package.......2007-05-28

Don't let the small size and light weight fool you. This center channel speaker packs plenty of punch. For me, the main purpose of a CS speaker is to deliver clear vocals and dialogue. With this Polk, I no longer have to lean forward in my chair or crank up the volume to hear conversations. All sound coming from it is crystal-clear. I'm very happy with it. I have it set up with an Onkyo receiver, an RCA sub, two Bose front speakers, and four Klipsch surround speakers.

great things come in small packages.......2007-02-28

When they delivered this center speaker, I thought that someone, somewhere--had made a huge mistake...the box was huge! It was all plastered with caution-signs warning of the heavy weight of the object inside the big box...Thankfully, it was just that whomever shipped it was being a bit too careful...coz, this rascal only weighs some 6 or 7 lbs, at the most...But, the sound,,,the sound is glorious, and fits right in with my Polk R15's...I could not be more pleased with this purchase! So, thank you Polk and thank you Amazon--you guys rock!

Awesome Speaker!.......2007-07-06

Bought this and the psw505 subwoofer to go with Yamaha in-wall speakers (960, 660 and 560) and yamaha receiver, v1700. Sound in entire room is awesome! Center really shines when watching regular tv as that's when you can really appreciate it on its own vs part of the whole theater setup. Cherry finish is beautiful. I like that you can flip the receiver for two different looks.

Excellent sound and build quality. Highly recommended........2007-01-12

This center speaker provides great sound, has a 5 year warranty, and the Cherry finish is excellent.

Good sounding .......2007-01-11

I purchased this center speaker to go with a Polk Audio Monitor 50 system that I have. This speaker sounds clearly better in a warm vocals kind of way then the rest of the system. I think that I will later upgrade the monitor 50 speakers to match this speaker as the improvement is very easy to hear.

CSi3 the perfect complement to RTi4 .......2006-03-01

After purchasing four Polk Audio RTi4s for my front and surround speakers, I replaced my Polk Audio CS245 center with the CSi3. The CS425 was a great speaker that was a good match to my old pair of ARs. However, it didn't provide a perfect match to the RTi4s. The RTi4s and CSi3 now provide a seamless soundstage with clear highs for dialog as well as natural mids and good bass. Two friends have surround systems from Energy, which provide excellent sound quality for movies. However, I prefer my setup for music and am entirely satisfied with my Polks for movies.

Dialogue that is clear and crisp.......2005-09-04

One month ago I bought the Polk Rti4's from Onecall. To be blunt, I was more than impressed not only on the clarity, look, and reproduction of sound, but also with the price. After working some overtime I was able to buy this great center channel. This is what I liked:
- Greater clarity of dialogue when watching movies
- Beautiful cherry exterior that is real wood - fits right in with my Rti's
- Very mobile since you are able to put it on top of your TV or below the TV
- Delivered three days flat if bought through Amazon via Onecall - no extra charge
- Very well priced in comparison to other center channels out there

Cons:
- Even though it's a great looking center channel, it's rather wide sitting at 20" , and rather tall standing at 7.5".

Polk offers the CS1 and CS2. I looked at both products and couldn't understand why you would settle with either of them when the CSi3 was made from real wood, along with a front port. Perhaps I could understand if one is looking for bigger woofers - like that of the CS2. Yet, the price difference between the CS2 and i3 is only $20.00.

If you do end up buying this, or any other center, I recommend that you at least buy some quality speaker wires (14 gauge maybe). Countless friends of mine have been buying great components and speakers, yet they settle with slim 18 gauge wire from Radio Shack. Then again it could just be my friends.

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 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.

Very nice.......2007-07-18

It sounds good but I was expecting a little more, but that is probably my fault. I should have ordered a bigger speaker.

Great speaker for the price.......2007-06-07

This speaker has it all. Great sound, great looks, and as of right now, a great price. This will be 100x better than any speaker included with a bundled home theater package. Sounds great - highly recommended.

Really Good stuff Man!.......2006-11-29

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..

Clean, clear, and good price.......2004-12-11

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

Excellent Center Speaker with Polk Rti8's.......2007-09-03

I have had a pair of Polk RTi8's for a few years and was using them without a center. I thought they sounded good as is, but dialogue was getting harder to hear during movies, especially.

So following the advice of my fellow Polk People at their forum, I was advised to get the CSi5. I thought about the CSi3, but the Polkers said, "No way, do not do it." "CSi3 will sound too weak and tinny with the 8's". And then when the CSi5 went on a clearance price, I was sold.

I had to do a little adjusting with the receiver, etc., but after about a week I had it all set well and the sound is far superior to before. Very clear dialogue. And adding the center cleared up the sound in the L and R's as well, so I now get more depth and assortment of the sound effects coming out of the fronts. This is a very large speaker and I had to put it on a stand in front of the TV as my DLP tv cabinet will not support a 30 pound speaker, but it has a tilt-up cabinet design for this purpose. Sounds fine under the TV.

A#1 speaker. Polks are an excellent choice for their price level, you get a lot for your dollar.

Amazon.com Product Description

Intended for center channel use within a Polk RM series speaker system--such as the 6800, 6900, 7300, or 7400--the RM202 is sleek and stylized, with a sculpted anodized-aluminum enclosure that looks terrific next to a plasma or flat-screen TV. The speaker offers more than just a pretty face, however. The unique curved shape also breaks up internal standing wave resonance, helping create a pure, more lifelike sound, while the PowerPort venting and dynamic balance technologies produce rich, full-bodied, big-speaker results from a compact housing. As part of a 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 speaker system, the RM202 helps create a dramatic, remarkably clear sound stage for DVDs and other multichannel formats.

The RM202 is equipped with dual 3.5-inch polymer composite cone midrange drivers for clear, distortion-free midrange and a high-performance 0.75-inch silk/polymer composite dome tweeter for sweet, crisp highs. The PowerPort venting, which hides under the grille, also extends and strengthens the lower midrange performance to ensure a seamless blend with the subwoofer output. The resulting midrange makes movie dialogue and other midrange frequencies sound rich and natural. The sound also disperses broadly throughout the room so everyone can enjoy the results regardless of where they're sitting.

Listeners have several installation options: they can mount the speaker on the wall using the included swivel bracket (which offers hidden wire channels), they can use the threaded insert to mount the speaker on a fully articulating bracket (sold separately), or they can place the speaker on the included center cradle, which aims the speaker toward the listener from above or below the TV. And to top it off, the speaker is magnetically shielded against video interference, so you needn't worry about distorting the image on your state-of-the-art TV or video monitor. The speaker, which measures 12.5 by 4.5 by 5.06 inches (W x H x D), offers five-way binding post connections and is backed by a five-year warranty.

Product Description

Building an EX or ES surround sound system for 6.1 or 7.1 speakers? You can get RM6750 speakers in Single Center Channel RM6752 pack to fill out the speaker requirements of more-than-5.1 multi-channel systems.

Amazon.com Product Description

The Polk Audio RM6752 center channel speaker accommodates listeners who want to add a voice-matched 6.1 rear surround speaker to their surround sound speaker system. Specifically designed for Polk's RM6750 setup--which itself comes with four satellites, a center speaker, and a subwoofer--the speaker helps fill out the rear effects and dialogue, creating a true top-of-the-line home theater compatible with the latest surround encoding formats. The RM6752 is equipped with dual 3.25-inch polymer composite cone midrange drivers that are lightweight and efficient, along with a high-performance 0.75-inch silk dome tweeter. Combined, the drivers create a clear, distortion-free midrange and smooth highs.

The speaker also employs the same PowerPort bass vent technology used in Polk's line of full-sized speakers, thus improving the lower midrange response. The result is a midrange with no "hole" between the center speaker and the sub frequencies, helping male vocals sound rich and full rather than thin and weak (as with most other sub/sat systems). Meanwhile, the speaker's integrated baffle and grille design allows for maximum sound dispersion and minimum diffraction, letting everyone in the room hear the same clear, well-balanced audio.

The speaker is housed within a mineral-filled, non-resonant, titanium-finished polypropylene enclosure that not only sounds natural, but also looks great. To top it off, the speaker includes a pair of integrated keyhole slot mounting brackets for effortless wall mounting. And because the speaker is magnetically shielded, you can locate the speaker near the TV without suffering from video interference. The speaker measures 11.19 by 4.31 by 5.81 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a five-year warranty.

Polk Audio RM6752 Money well spent.......2007-07-14

With my understanding being that the center speaker is dialogue, the RM6752 fits my purpose perfectly.
People have a tendency to over spend on speakers. ( I have gone that route)I use to have what I called my $25,000 wall, In my other life.
Polk Audio has speakers for everyones price range.
I use better Polk Audio speakers for my right and left,a conservative Yahama (100 watt) sub,and two Bic cheapies for the two surround.
I read a review that said the bic speakers had a tinny sound Duh!!
You see, I am in a apartment now, and do not find it necessary to shake the walls and disturb the tranquility of others.

Decent Center Channel.......2006-08-18

This little center channel is great. I bought a bundled Pioneer system that came with a very small center channel. I have been shopping around for a cost-effective center channel, but most of the ones I saw were either too expensive or too big. This one is just the right size and provides a bigger/deeper sound than my small pioneer. If you're looking for a louder/deeper center channel, but don't want to fork over the money for a premium center channel, this is a good deal for that purpose. I give it 4 stars b/c while I was happy with the upgrade in sound quality, it didn't have the "wow" factor for me to give it the extra 5th star.
