Polk Audio CS175 Center Channel Speaker – Front-Ported, Black

A Polk Audio CS175 two-way center channel speaker in black, a solidly built cabinet at nearly 14 pounds, with a front port and proper 5-way binding posts, fully tested on our bench and in very good condition.

What it is

The center channel does the most important job in a home theater: it carries the dialogue and keeps it anchored to the screen. The CS175 is Polk Audio’s two-way answer, and it is more substantial than it looks: a long, low cabinet nearly 17 inches wide and close to 14 pounds, with a tweeter in the middle and a mid-bass woofer beside it. It sits on a shelf, a stand or a TV console, and it sounds great for its size.

The round port on the front reinforces the bass, and because it vents forward rather than out the back, the CS175 is happy close to the wall or tucked into a cabinet under the TV. Polk rates it at 89 dB and 8 ohms, with a frequency range of 55 Hz to 22 kHz and up to 100 watts of power handling, so any home theater receiver drives it easily.

Around the back, a pair of 5-way binding posts take bare wire, spades, pins or banana plugs. We recommend our own Radique Audio gold-plated banana plugs, and our Custom Speaker Cable Builder will make a pair to length, ready to plug in.
