I got this bad boy on sale at JR for almost half off furing the fourth of july sale they had. Amazing center channel, adjustable height stand, flip it upside down even. Polk Audio knows exactly how its done my friends. Bi-amp!
Simply amazing, wouldnt recommend any other brand without being under duress.

I have had a pair of Polk RTi8s for a few years and was using them without a center. I thought they sounded good as is, but dialogue was getting harder to hear during movies, especially.
So following the advice of my fellow Polk People at their forum, I was advised to get the CSi5. I thought about the CSi3, but the Polkers said, "No way, do not do it." "CSi3 will sound too weak and tinny with the 8s". And then when the CSi5 went on a clearance price, I was sold.
I had to do a little adjusting with the receiver, etc., but after about a week I had it all set well and the sound is far superior to before. Very clear dialogue. And adding the center cleared up the sound in the L and Rs as well, so I now get more depth and assortment of the sound effects coming out of the fronts. This is a very large speaker and I had to put it on a stand in front of the TV as my DLP tv cabinet will not support a 30 pound speaker, but it has a tilt-up cabinet design for this purpose. Sounds fine under the TV.
A#1 speaker. Polks are an excellent choice for their price level, you get a lot for your dollar.
