RE: Center Speaker Recommendations for Main Horn Speakers

Sorry; I had posted the wrong link. The mains Troy's building for me use this midrange horn.

The B&C DCM50 midrange driver which Troy measures and does listening tests on in this video-please watch entirely from time 15:18 to the end of the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8haDt66kueM&t=982s

And the tweeter (which Troy not I) insists on using is the Fostex T900A, for which Troy developed these two improvements:

Finally, the above would be crossed with these Altec 416-8B woofers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bo-g5-EFuQ&t=25s

From evaluating those videos, I hope you might share your predictions of what these completed speakers might sound like.

Given the drivers and the overall design, would these speakers serve for the front speakers in for a 3.1 movie sound system as they would for a two channel stereo system?

Unfortunately, Troy informed me that he's no longer doing custom speaker designs and has now switched to only offering turnkey speaker systems. Thus, he declined to build me a center speaker. So, perhaps this model?

Or one of these? https://www.safeandsoundhq.com/pages/search-results-page?q=center channel speaker&page=1&rb_vendor=Dynaudio|GoldenEar|JBL&rb_price=1105,4250
