RE: Do I need tweeters ta all?

I liked Art's answer about air noise, he is correct too.

Assuming the speaker is otherwise behaved, you would still want to add at least one tank circuit to damp out that rise around 3200Hz. That bump will be audible, the same could be done for the bump around 10K, the cost is generally an R and L and C for each bump you smooth.

Also, an on axis response curve will describe what you hear on axis but often enough, one is hearing sound from off axis too. If the speakers had a similar HF response say 10 or 20 degrees off axis, then it would possibly make a nice speaker.
Best,
Tom
