bad timbre match for Rti10 and better speakers !
by kvrichardson on December 4, 2009
Pros: great clear sound
Cons: the tweeter is different - not as good - as my Rti10's - so the timbre match is bad. I'm sure anyone with a good Polk Audio tower Front R/L will not be pleased with the difference across the soundstage - Rti12, etc.
Summary: The salesman tried to warn me a couple of years ago when I bought the cs2 but I just ran out of money. So I just ordered the CSi5 to ...

Summary: The salesman tried to warn me a couple of years ago when I bought the cs2 but I just ran out of money. So I just ordered the CSi5 to replace my CS2, looking forward to it - the CSi5 has the same tweeter and quality as the rti10's - should be awesome !
I'm sure it should work well for most folks at the lower end of the Polk Audio line - but, as I've learned, the center speaker is so important. I just didn't know back then.

Summary: It is my opinion that this is the best center speaker that you can buy for under $300. If you are looking to spend between $300-$600 I would recommend a higher end Infinity Beta model or higher end the Infinity TSS-4000. For those on a budget you can't go wrong with this speaker that goes for only $269 retail!

- Manufacturer: Polk Audio, Inc.
- Part number: CS2
- Description: The CS2 center speaker features high efficiency design that allows the CS2 to reveal the classic Polk Audio sound (open, spacious and clear) even when driven by modestly powered amplifiers and receivers. 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. Bi-laminate composite dynamic balance drivers are lightweight and stiff with good damping for high efficiency, excellent bass and lower distortion. Non-resonant all-MDF enclosure construction with ¾"-thick baffles ensures cleaner, clearer, more lifelike sound quality. Reversible-design cabinets can be turned upside down to aim "up" when placed under a video monitor. Five-way binding post connectors provide more secure hook-up options, and bi-wiring and bi-amping flexibility. Magnetic shielding provides safe placement near TVs with no risk of video distortion. Critically tuned flared port minimizes port noise ("chuffing") for good low frequency extension with low port noise, resulting in natural, full-bodied sound with rich bass.
