Amazon.com Product Description:
The name 'Monitor' is special to Polk Audio. The original Polk Audio Monitor Series, produced in the mid-1970s, ushered in the modern loudspeaker era by setting the standard for performance and value. The original Monitor Series is the line that made Polk Audio famous with its simple, sturdy construction, clear, accurate sound, powerful bass and superior imaging all at a price that made great sound available to everyone.

The newly reborn Monitor Series is classic Polk: a quality-built, affordable line of high performance loudspeakers for music and home theater. They are highly efficient, so they can be driven by unpretentious receivers, and they are voice matched for lifelike surround sound environments. The Monitor Series boasts a stylish contemporary look, modern titanium faces, and bold stabilizer feet on the tower models. Built for speed, sound quality and value, the Monitor Series is a great introduction to high performance sound.

The CS2 center speaker has been designed to be the perfect match for Monitor Series speakers in multi-channel systems. The CS2 features a high efficiency design to reveal the classic Polk Audio sound (open, spacious and clear) even when driven by modestly-powered amplifiers and receivers.

The 1' (25mm) fabric/polymer composite dynamic balance dome tweeter with powerful neodymium magnet structure delivers clear and detailed high frequency response for realistic reproduction of vocals and instruments. Ultimate flexibility comes via the reversible-design cabinets that can be turned upside down to aim 'up' when placed under a video monitor.





Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - it works
I don't know what else you could want from a speaker other than it works. The sound is clear and clean. The rest is just up to my receiver to adjust other sound levels.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Worth the extra $100
Folks, don't even think of CS1. CS2 is hands-down better than CS1 and worth every dollar. It is huge and I love it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great vocals, good value
Have this paired with Polk RC80i ceiling speakers. Amped through Onkyo SR705. YMMV with different setup.

Vocals are clear and accurate during movies and music. Nice separation and clarity. One reviewer noted that it lacks bass...that's what subwoofers are designed for. Similar logic would expect deep lows from a penny whistle. It just doesn't work that way.

I prefer the Polk sound, as there is a good balance of highs and lows without the mids being scooped out. ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Pathetic Sound
I own an older Polk center speaker, which I bought after comparing it to other center speakers in the store. I've had it a few years. I purchased this speaker based on reviews on Amazon.com. I expected great sound, based on its 5-star ratings. I was disappointed. Voices sounded tinny, with no fullness. This means poor bass response. The highs were clear, maybe too much treble. I requested a refund.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Center Channel
I purchased this to upgrade my CS1. I am surprised how clear the difference in sound quality is compared to the CS1, although I'm somewhat obsessed with speakers. I notice the voices are much deeper and seem more accurate.
Highly recommended.
