If they're the "Great Heil AMT" they are very efficient and they sound really good.
I have a pair that I removed from a pair of "monitor" ESS speakers that I bought at a garage sale.
I mate mine with JBL 2118 midrange speakers playing from 200Hz to the 2500Hz crossover point with the Heils. (simple 6db per octave passive crossover)
The lows are handled by a pair of 15" JBL 2231a.
The JBL 2118 is rated at 97db. Some people say they are more like 95.5db.
I have the Heil AMT padded down by almost 6db to get, what I hear as, a proper balance.

BTW You can buy the Heil AMTs new for $700 a pair. Also replacement diaphragms for $80 each and you don't have to take anything apart.
Remove the stickers, top and bottom, and the thing just slides out.

P.S. The Morel MDT33 tweeter is not hooked up.
P.P.S. I looked up the model 5 tweeter and it's much different than the Great Heil AMT I am talking about.
