    just buy one... The parts alone would cost you more that the speaker will.
    The Gear... Carver "Statement" Mono-blocks, Mcintosh C2300 Arcam AVR20, Oppo UDP-203 4K Blu-ray player, Sony XBR70x850B 4k, Polk Audio Legend L800 with height modules, L400 Center Channel Polk audio AB800 "in-wall" surrounds. Marantz MM7025 stereo amp. Simaudio Moon 680d DSD

    How did that turn out for you?

    It worked ok, but not as well as just getting one in the first place.

    I think if I have a better workshop and more experience, it would have been more successful.

    The workmanship on that project looked really good!

    I'm a new owner of some LSi's with an A6 center and need to take the plunge for another center.
    Will take your recommendation, which corresponds to others. Thank You.

    Buy one. Trust me.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben

    Looks like everyone is suggesting the buy option...point well taken, especially since it would be my first build. But what have you guys heard about as far as building a clearwave channel? Is this worth it in place of an LSiC?
