I wish Polk had a ...

[hoosier21]

Center speaker like the CS1000p, but not powered. You know kinda like a CS350 (model #??) only bigger. 1 tweeter, and 4 - 6.5" mid-woofers. It would have to be a little cheaper than the powered CS1000p. I like the 1000 but it is a little steep $$, I like the CS400i also but think it looks lost on top of a big screen TV, and would love the extra horsepower of 2 additional drivers. This could be a new speaker from polk with almost ZERO new tooling, new crossover, same cabinet, same drivers.

THIS IS A HELL OF AN IDEA.

Who is with me? anyone? hello?

May be this is something for Polk to consider, how about the new CS750?

[hoosier21]

Sure make it a CS750i or CS800i.

Polk guys, I may need to have a prototype sent to me so I can make sure it is up to snuff..

Ya, I feel what your saying. My CS400 looks a bit small under my 8' projection screen. My Onkyo 787 could push a "non-powered" CS1000 and it would be worth it for a cheaper price considering the importance of the center channel. But i am trying to say i am done for awhile, my credit cards are dryed up for now. Ha! Ha!

[hoosier21]

Didn't Polk make a center channel like this, and I don't mean the CS350. Anyone?

You may be thinking about the SRT center. ??

I think it had 4 5.25" drivers...

[hoosier21]

I must have dreamed it.

Vtec's right. You're thinking of the SRT center speaker.

SRT center had four drivers.

[PETERNG]

SRT center has 4 5 1/4 mid-woofers, 1 tri-lam tweeter, handle 100-1000 wrms.

CS1000p has 2 6 1/2 subwoofers with 2 50w amps, 2 6 1/2 mid/bass drivers, 1 tr-lam tweeter, handle 20-250 w/c.

CS400i has 2 6 1/2 dirvers, 1 tri-lam tweeter, handle 10-250w/c.

CS350LS has 4 4 1/2 drivers, 1 tri-lam tweeter, handle 10-250w/c.

So we proposed the following specs for the new CS800:
4 6 1/2 drivers, 1 tri-lam tweeter, handle 10-500w/c.

I am ready to buy.

Polk, any news on when it will be ready to ship?

[goingganzo]

just put 2 subs not powered in a ban-pass design for the 2 6 1/2 subs and make the subs have their own hook up

[RuSsMaN]

Trilam, or new ring-radiating tweet of course.

2 5 1/4's and 2 4's

or maybe 4, 4.5's....

I just think 4 passive 6.5's in a single box, used for a center channel may tend to honk, or sound chesty, esp at higher power. My personal preference for center drivers is 5 1/4 on down to 4. SCREAMING mids and highs....let the sub do the 80-100~ and below...

Just my take anyway....

Are the specs on the CS350 LS the same as you suggested?

[RuSsMaN]

Scroll up the post...to your previous post....one of my suggestions would match the 350.
