Polk Audio Monitor 75, matching center channel

[IainMcMaster]

Hello,

I am new in the home theater scene and have a quick question about matching my Polk Audio Monitor 75T's (Monitor 75T - Floorstanding | Polk Audio®) with a center channel.

I have been reading that I should go for the CS20 (CS20 - Center Channel | Polk Audio®) over the CS10 (CS10 - Center Channel | Polk Audio®). I am wondering if the CS10 will be drastically under powered compared to my 75's. I am having problems finding a decently priced CS20. I found one on ebay last night for $200 but it was quickly scooped up. Retail stores have it for about $350, which is way beyond what i want to spend for a center channel. I can find a CS10 for about $100-120. My biggest concern right now is that these speakers are being phases out and I won't be able to get a matching center channel further down the road. I am very pleased with the sound I have with my two monitor 75's without a center channel.

Is it worth it to just ditch the center channel and go for a 4.0/4.1 setup?

Iain

I second looking at newegg.com. That's where I bought my own 75T's . Paid around $200 a piece for them . I love the sound of the 75t's too and I'm just driving them with a very modestly powered Onkyo receiver.
