Description

Center channel speakers easily carry the 50% or more of center channel info delivered in multi-channel sources for home theatre systems. The Polk Audio CSI A5 Center Channel Speaker has an upside-down aimable cabinet to give you placement flexibility and finer sound-tailoring for your high performance home theater system. It is also timbre-matched to fit into any Polk Audio home theater or multi-channel music system for a more realistic and seamless surround sound environment. The CSi A5 features the latest generation of Dynamic Balance polymer composite drivers for smooth wide-range response with low distortion as well as a 1-inch silk/polymer dome tweeter to deliver better sound detail. Venting through the rear panel Power Port and the front panel ARC port vastly reduces chuffing or port noise. It provides deeper, more powerful, lower distortion bass than other conventional ported or sealed designs can offer. All-MDF construction creates an acoustically inert cabinet. You are assured classic Polk performance in a design that speaks to today's high-end home décor. True performance art.

5excellent center speaker sound very clear and crisp  Apr 01, 2010
I bought this center speaker polk audio after much research on different speakers, the most convinced me was this and the JBL, but these are cheaper and as I wanted a good relationship between price and quality finish choosing k polk and I can say this horn Central gave life to my home theater in novelty I am very satisfied with the purchase of this product. has good power and sound very crisp and clear, I recommend 100% and talk before tests because it had a bose center speaker and I always thought was the best sound until you hear this delight percent since everything has come alive in my movies and music as it is well known that in a home theater center speaker is the primary responsibility for the force of sound therefore spare no effort and make a smart choice by purchasing this great center. if you buy it you will enjoy every penny you pay

5Great speaker  Nov 06, 2008
I'm in love with this speaker!!!
I love the sound quality! I also like the fact that you can bi amp it.
My only reservation is the weight and sheer size. Its on the heavey side and a bit bulky so plan your placment carefully

4Overkill? I don't think so....  Feb 08, 2008
As I'm constantly upgrading my 7.1 surround I'm always looking for deals on components. I recently returned a Sony STR-DG910 7.1 receiver to Amazon after using it for about 3 weeks. I might add the the return process with Amazon was a very simple (no problem) experience. Anyway, I found the Sony receiver did not have enough power to run my current Polk Audio speaker set up (210 sub, Monitor 50 fronts, CSM center and R-15 surround and backs). I was mostly unimpressed with the sound I lost from the CSM center.

My new receiver the Onkyo TX-SR805 blew the socks off everything I had. The first thing I relized was the center had to go. After a lot of research I decided on the CSi5 knowing I could get by with something smaller and cheaper. The CSi5 was on sale so I placed my order. The thing is huge so it sits on the floor, but that's OK. The Onkyo has plenty of power and adjustments so I was able to match it with my existing speakers. The sound is magical and I'm not the least bit disappointed. This center picks up sound that just wasn't there before. I'm very impressed. I'm glad I didn't go smaller. I've got lots of room to upgrade again.

Of course, now I'm looking to replace the rest of my speakers except my sub (it was an overkill from the start). Look out Polk Audio I've got my eye on you. Polk Audio has been in my family for years. I'm a big fan....

If it wasn't so big I'd easily give it 5 stars. It really deserves it, but nobody's perfect.

5Great center channel...  Dec 10, 2007
At $199 this center channel is a great product. Provides clear voices. They really are right when say the center channel carries a lot of your sound. Now the voices really do come out in noisy action movies and I can hear even more sounds.

Very solid build. This puppy is huuuuuge and has weight. Check your measurements.... 7-11/16" H x 24" W x 14-1/2" D.

Also, I honestly don't think that you can place this on an slim line TV. I own a Sony Bravia KDS 60A3000 with a solid cabinet build. However, I'm not placing this guy on top of my TV.

Consumer Reports Says: Buy HDTV at Amazon!

Washington, D.C. (July 2010) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)

The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2009 and June 2010. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its July 2010 issue.)

"
Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."

Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com came closest.
