Amazon.com Item 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.

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 30's to use as surrounds to get the full 7.1 in my room. That room is going to be the place to be. I will be sad everytime I have to leave it. 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. Rating: - * two thumbs up ... this one speaker livened up my surrond sound. great at reproducing vocies for movies and music.cant believe i got this speaker for the price Rating: - * 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). Rating: - * Fantastic product! ... I bought this center speaker to complement my Polk R50s and R150s. Perfect combo at the best price. Amazon did it again!
