Anyone aware of a center channel w/ Scan speak drivers?

Looking for a center to match my Odyssey Lorelei's. Have a Nemesis on the way but am thinking I might find a better match.

Does anyone make a center using Scan Speak 8545's and the Revelator tweeter? A center using one or the other is also an option.

I am aware that Tyler makes a center which uses the 9700 revelator. Any other options greatly appreciated.

I'm sure tyler would make a center with a 9500 tweeter instead... he makes custom orders all the time.. give him a call.

the 9700 and 9500 aren't considered 'revelator' tweeters, right? only the 9900 and d2904/7000.
the 9900 being the old revelator and the 7000 being the new one. i use the d2904/6000-01 neodymium tweeter in a MTM configuration with 18cm 8531 Mid/woofers.

A speaker with the same drives but from another company may or may not sound like the ones you have. The X-over probably makes as much difference to the final sound as the actual drivers chosen. Maybe more.

Hey Byteme, have you received your Nemisis yet? If so. how go you like it? I feel that the Nemisis does a good job of blending with the Lorelei but the drivers ARE a different make than the Lorelei's and you've got me wondering if a center made up of the same drivers would do even a BETTER blending job than the Nemisis can do. You would think it should.

Anyways, I'd like your input if/when you have a chance to try out the Nemisis. And any other center that you're able to try out for that matter.

Regards, Robin
