Expert review by : Steve Guttenberg (cnet.com)

Polk Audio CS1

 

This worthy center mates up nicely with the rest of Polk's Monitor Series speakers.

Full-size center speaker; two 5.25-inch woofers flanking a 1-inch soft-dome tweeter.

It might be too large for some tastes.

This full-size center-channel speaker sounds good with both movies and music and blends well with Polk's other Monitor Series speakers.

Terrible

 

Never buy this device. You can save $ by making a wiser investment.

Works for the first few weeks. For the second purchase, the mouse lasted 5 weeks

- I bought two of these mice - The first one worked 3-4 months. After then, every one out of five left clicks does not work. - The second one worked for 5 weeks. Every time I either left or right click multiple times (3 at least), the mouse disconnects...

Awesome speaker

 

This is a large speaker, I had to build a little stand to get my tv up high enough as not to cover the bottom of the screen. So make sure you have room for it.

REally nice looking and well made. Sounds really good, well pleased with it.

No cons

Solid addition

 

Unless you are an absolute audiophile, you will not notice the difference between this model and the next step up unless you drive your system hard and often. I get the most out of this product when using it for music. Disclaimer: I love turning up...

Solid build quality - as expected Excellent value for money

None. I haven't had an issue with this speaker.

cant beat the sound for 60$

 

wanted a def tech 2000 center but after seeing this going on sale for 60, and it having matching size speakers as my def tech towers,i jumped. so far they sound great (better without the grill)

bit large.

Not too shabby

 

Good low end for DEEP VOICES. Pleasant mids and highs. Not as harsh as plastic tweeters. Matches well with Polk T-15 fronts and surrounds. When you consider how much signal comes though a center, it makes sense to go a little bigger. Slim cabinet. It's...

Nothing so far.

Remarkable Center Speaker

 

I scooped this up two weeks ago and it has been nothing short of fantastic. I have this paired with a Sony STR-710 and two Polk Audio tsi200 bookshelf speakers on a bi-amp connection. Movies and games sound clear, crisp, and not muddled.

My only complaint is the grill. It's a laced plastic all beneath the cloth. I wish Polk Audio had made the grill where the plastic pieces could be absent in front of the drivers and tweeters. Other than that, this was money well spent.
