About Polk Audio CS20
FEATURED REVIEWS
Best speaker purchase I've ever made.
I've populated my 7.1 surround sound system with the TSi series, and the CS20 is the glue that holds it all together. Anyone with a surround system knows the importance of the center channel. The clarity, the quality is nothing less than excellent. The highs are as clear as day. The tones are warm and easy on the ears; even at high volumes, I've experienced no listening fatigue. I can't recommend this speaker highly enough.
The Polk Audio CS20 Center Channel Speaker (Cherry) is timbre-matched to the TSi Series, for seamless realistic continuity between speakers. And it's big enough to match the larger TSi speaker's performance. The effect is of being surrounded, yet being able to clearly locate details and dialogue on screen, just like in a movie theater. Its innovative angled-top design gives you more placement flexibility with perfect aiming whether you place it on top of your TV or below the screen.
Polk Audio CS20 Features
- Achieve perfect imaging with more placement flexibility because the angled CS enclosure flips to accommodate TV-top or below-screen placement
- Unlike other speakers in this price range, TSi enclosures are constructed of extensively braced, solid MDF with 3/4-inch baffles. This virtually eliminates internal resonances and damps energy-stealing vibrations, for more efficient operation and more transparent sound
- Beautiful pewter accents, a high gloss piano-finish black top plate and your choice of stylish black or cherry wood-grain finishes make TSi speakers a part of your decor
- Polk's proprietary, patented Dynamic Balance technology allows engineers to design out distortion-causing driver and system resonances, so you only hear the good sounds
- Klippel motor optimization uses laser measurement technology to ensure a smooth excursion path at either end of the volume spectrum for uniform performance at both low and high volumes
- TSi design combines smaller drivers (for more overall driver area with less driver mass) and narrow baffle geometry, for wider range and more spacious sound staging, so every seat in the house hears a prime performance
- Unlike horns or metal domes, silk dome tweeters deliver clear and detailed highs, without fatigue, even at high volume
- Durable, efficient and tuned with Dynamic Balance process, TSi Series polycarbonate cones produce smooth, natural sound
- Surprisingly deep, musical bass response thanks to critically tuned flared port venting system, which minimizes port noise ("chuffing") and smooth's the turbulence of port air flow, to reveal big, full-bodied bass that blends effortlessly with the speaker's overall dynamics
- Dual gold-plated, professional-style 5-way binding posts, for the most secure connection options
- Dual binding posts allow bi-amp or bi-wire connections, for the ultimate in customized high performance audio
