peerless drivers 5.25"

[blair]

I am in the process of getting ready to build a home theater system. I recently found a lot of 8 peerless 850-234 drivers with a Fs of 65 hz. I want all of my speakers to be matching for accurate integration. There are also a pair of peerless sko-130s I have found, but the Fs is 50hz. I want the center and the two fronts to be mtm config. The other four will be a fairly small tm design. Will these drivers integrate well? Or is there a suggestion like maybe to use the two different drivers in the center speaker? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, if I use these different drivers, should the crossover stay the same?

I may be wrong but I believe those speakers are very similar to the speakers Dennis Murphy used in his El Cheapos. Not all that different from the original GR Research 5.25"ers. You could chek with either Danny or Dennis on that.
