SDA-CRS as center channel for 1A’s?! Or klipsch RC-64

Sorry but I know this has to have been asked somewhere but I cannot seem to find exactly what I’m looking for. I have a Pair of SDA-CRS that I think would possibly work for tweeter matching. I’m either looking at doing this or looking into buying either the SVS prime center, SVS ultra center, or Klipsch RC-64. Whats the consensus on center channels for SDAs?

SDA CRS would match better

What does the monitor 10 crossover change that the crs crossover doesn’t have?

Could you not unplug the dimensional woofer on the CRS

The Monitor 10 crossover is designed for a single tweeter, dual woofer configuration.
The CRS crossover is not.Home Theater/2 Channel:

Will sure but why? The crs+ should have bass down below 150hz. i believe unlike the earliest model that didn't play at all unless the cable was used. I'd give it a try and see how you like it first. Dave knows his stuff that i trust. -
These CRS were made in 84 they aren’t the + correct

Blade blade interconnect and two tweeters then no.

Yes blade/blade and two tweeters. So do I look for a different center or try it

Disable one of the tweeters, and install the Monitor 10 crossover, done. Use the tweeter that's mostly in the center.

Would using both as a center cause an issue? -
Yes, you will get lobing, and a comb filtering. Ideally, one full range driver per channel will deliver the cleanest sound, so the closer the drivers are to each other, the closer it will act as a single driver.

Both tweeters or both speakers? -

You wont like it that way. The one woofer will bottom out pretty easy since it's now having to try and drive the PR and a second woofer.
I wired my CRS, SDA woofer with the other woofer so it was more like a 2 way 3 driver speaker. I dont remember (parallel or series) but I think it came out in the 5 to 6 ohm range. Made for a pretty capable center with plenty of bass. Dont forget to allow some room for the PR to breathe on the back.
