Which center for rti150 front, rti100 rear

[scubamike]

Which center do you recomend when running rti150 for fronts and rti100s for rear. I was thinking about the csi5. Would anything else be better and also does anyone have any for sale. THANKS. I'm new to polk but love the sound so far, will only get better

Welcome to the forum.

I think the CSi5 will match quite well. Polk does suggested the CSi40, but they are hard to find and the CSi5 is well matched. I own RTi100's, RTi6's & RTi38's with a CSi5. All have 1" tweeter as does your RTi150's. I am actually quite happy with the CSi5, but it is large one. Good Luck.

I have a Csi30 brand new still in the box that I am thinking of selling. PM me if interested.

RTi70... :)

My CSi30 works fine with my RTi150s.

Csi40 is the BEST if you can find it anyhow.
Csi5 uses different tweeter and will not be a good match.
Csi30 is timber matched but no way near csi40. I have both and it is a BIG difference imho.

How is the tweeter different?

[mknutt]

The CSi40 and 30 are from the same line as the RTi150 and 100s. All have the same 1" silk dome tweeter, so they will be timbre matched. The Csi5 is a newer line, but I can't tell what the difference is. People have mentioned that they do sound a little different though, but I can not speak from experience.

My knowledge indicates the tweeters are all the same (CSi5, RTi100, RTi150).
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
