Thanks to all that provided feedback. The JBL looks interesting. Here is a comment from the literature on the pi speaker's website. "The JBL 2226 can be used for such an implementation. One look at the response curve of a JBL 2226 shows that it generates very little output above 1.6kHz, and the speaker sounds clean up through the midrange. So a tweeter circuit that is designed to bring it online between 1kHz and 2.0kHz blends very well with these woofers – even with no woofer crossover at all. However, it is also evident that there is a slight increase in output just below upper cutoff, and this is reduced by adding inductance to the system."
Follow Ups:
The increase in output is on axis only.
Putting an aperature plate in front of the driver (like the newer Eon series) makes it sound much better for a higher crossover point. Years ago I did this with a simple piece of cardboard in front of the driver with a rougn opening of about 80 square inches with the long axis in the vertical (to maximize horizontal dispersion).
