CS2 vs. CSi3

[DCombs]

The CSi3 looks by the specs to be comparable to the CS1. But given that it's a different line is that really true? How does it compare to the CS2? I'm trying to decide among those three.
Thanks,

It really depends what speakers you will be using for the fronts because they are designed to match different polk lines. The CS1/2 are timbre matched for the monitor series (and maybe the TSI series), while the Csi3/5 are for the Rti/A series. The Cs2 is large so you should make sure you have the space. I've have a CS2 and had a Csi5. They have different sounds so you really need to specify what else you have up front.

M10s up front. Actually three pairs of M10s. I'm building out a new HT from scratch and grabbed a good deal on M10s so got three pairs for fronts, mids, and rears. Room is prewired for 7.1. I don't have the sub yet but was thinking the PSW 110.

Keep in mind that the Csi5 is the older version of the Csi6. Most people here will tell you that the Csi5/6 is much better than the Csi3. I would not cut corners on the center. Keep your eyes on the Polk ebay site. Everything I have ever bought from them looked brand new.
