Polk Audio CSi25 Center Channel Speaker $69.99 + Ship - Back Again!

It's been $59 + shipping in the past, but $69 is still a good price. Shipping is $11.84 to Missouri. The going price on eBay seems to be $85 shipped, so this is only a few dollars less, but I would much rather order it from Frys than on eBay.

For those of you who don't know, this is the matching center channel to the R50, R30, and R15 speakers that Frys has often had on sale.

FYI outpost is wrong, that is a 4 ohm speaker. Best have a good receiver/amp to drive it

The product manual says "Impedance: Nominal Ohms, Compatible with 8ohm outputs". A receiver that will push the R50, R30, and R15 fine should work just fine for this as well, since they're all in the same product line.

I got one when they were $59 and I would buy it again for $69. Nice speaker, good price.
FYI - the PSW303 12" sub is on for $149+ship - another good buy if you like matching components

I have the above two with:
- a pair of R50's on the front ($70 for the pair - open box/floor display)
- a pair of R30's on the side ($70 for the pair - open box/floor display)
- a pair of R15's in the back ($40 for the pair - NIB)

Grand total: under $400 + tax - - Damn taxes :disgust:
All was bought at Fry's (online and B&M) in the last six months and makes for a really nice 7.1 set-up :thumbsup: !

FYI...the PSW303 is an 8" sub. The sub is the one speaker that doesn't matter at all whether it is the same brand or product name as the rest of the speakers. For $170 shipped you can do better than the PSW303. For that same price, you can get the Dayton 12", which is a much better sub IMO. I actually did get a Polk sub, but only because I got a good deal on eBay for a PSW350 (10") for $110 shipped. My wife wouldn't let me get a sub as big as the Dayton, which is why I didn't consider it.

Thanks for the info on the Dayton, Kalrith. it looks pretty sweet. I might have to trade up! Still the Polk sounds pretty good... hmmm?!
You're right, of course, about the PSW303 being 8" - I got it confused with my truck sub.
