Hi,
you might be able to find a 10inch or 12inch Tannoy dual concentric for that kind of money. Not the modern plastic coned type. Go look for a paper coned bass/pepper pot tweeter model.

Voice is very intelligible and high sensitivity requires only moderate power.

The DC principle keeps point source at centre and this allows a wide spread of coherent signal to the audience (you and the girlfriend do have some space between you!).

ha, ha, to you too

not being facetious here understand

but do a search on the parts express projects site there are numerous HT projects with centre ch plans using the dayton drivers from PE....
these aught to come in around or under your budget

the one that intrigues me is an onken style centre version of a sealed cab centre with 2 vents at the sides built into the encl using bits of mdf wish l could give you a link but being old and senile l forget how.... so do a search on their site l'm sure you will find what u are looking for. cheers and best regards

TC

[PS] l intend to build one using a pr of no-name shielded drivers from a korean mfctr l rekon it should work out well with a simple series x/over using a shielded tonigen soft dome tweeter l have lying around gathering dust
