Unless you find a center that is voiced the same, it's not worth it. So, either find a smaller pair of ADS with the same tweeter and mid, have one built or don't use a center. You can save $600 and set your pre on phantom mode.
Some Basic Center Channel speaker reccomendaitons
This is sort of a cross-post for one in the speaker forum, but did not get much of a response. I use a vintage pair of ADS 1090 small towers as my L & R fronts and im looking for a center channel. So if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate the input. Now this is for non critical TV?Movie listening so I’m not expecting a perfect or even ideal match. Brief review of some of the HT forums reveals these are the usual recommendations

So I would appreciate any thoughts on the above, other recommendations or suggestions re a possible timbre or sonic signature . Would also be curious if anyone has any opinions on trying one of the traditionally "warmer sounding" brands ....maybe something like a Sonus Faber or Vienna Acoustics.
My other thought would be maybe ask a builder like fritz to make something up....
My only requirement is it I’d like to keep it seven inches or shorter....thanks in advance for any thoughts.
