Now your over my head.... What I did was with Zilch's(God bless him) mentoring some years ago.
The guys at Lansing Heritage are the ones you want to discuss those particulars.
I drive my L200's with either a Citation II or an LK150, both updated and somewhat modified. They are efficient, as you know, so there is plenty from either amp to drive them. I'm happy with where I have gotten them now.
I guess what gets me is why break up a fine set of speakers? Why not use them as intended or at least put them back and reevaluate.

Because I'm not a gear head.
I'm not interested in owning a classic speaker just because it's a classic speaker. I want the best sound I can get and IMO using the JBL 15s the way I do gives me the best sound.
IMO a 15 woofer doesn't sound good playing higher than 100Hz but it's hard to find a really good midrange speaker that is both efficient and will play properly all the way down to 100Hz so I have to cross at 200Hz.
I need really efficient speakers for the midrange and highs because, for that range, I use single ended 300b amplifiers (not a lot of power) because I think they sound much better than push pull amplifiers but they don't have enough damping factor to play bass so I bi-amp with SS for the woofers.
I could put the 4331As back together and sell them and then buy some 2231s or 2235s and build woofer boxes but I'm lazy these days and I already have the (very well built) 4331 cabs.
It's not that I don't understand where you're coming from but if I hang on to the horns and crossovers my wife and daughter can sell the complete 4331As after I'm dead but life is too short to worry about breaking up "a fine set of speakers".
Thanks for your input.

I had a similar rig like you way back and I used the 2480 in a large 200hz first octave audio horn crossed at 300hz and then at 6k it was awsome with my 300b
I think this is the best jbl midrange driver ever ,i moved on to altec and the 515b with 288g tickles me silly
I have thought about going all horns on top.
At one time I had 416s in a Karlson enclosures with 511s (I can't remember what drivers) and 075s.
