Center channel

OK, here goes. I've secured a pair of AR18B's for my home theater setup (I know, not the perfect match for the 9's, but it's close)

Now for a center channel. I was thinking of building my own because AR obviously didn't have that market in mind in the 70's! Here are my options as I see them:

Find original drivers (2 ?(8/10/12)", the midrange from the 9's, and the tweeter from the 9's as well) and build a crossover/box for them. (could get expensive, and are the drivers even available?)

-or-

Find a pair of AR91's and trade(?) the 12's for 8's? (or just use the 12's and have a bitchin' center! (If I was going to do that, I could just find an odd AR90 and I would be set, crossover included!)

-or-

Start from scratch with modern drivers and do my best.

Obviously I have no idea where to go from here... HELP!

What's the deal with the message all running together? anyway, I just went to Layne Audio and found that they have ALL the parts I need to do the 8" mid/woofer, the 1.5" midrange and the 3/4" tweeter. I can get them all for $260 plus shipping.

Add to that crossover parts and cabinet stuff... jeez. That's more than I paid for my 9's and 18B's combined.

Well, any suggestions would be great.

Huh, that's weird. My original message was all ran together with no line breaks before. Anyway, it looks fine now.
