Hi, I have found over the years that a fostex fe167 full range speaker,(94 db/1w/1m), in a 42 liter cabinet, ported as per fostex diagram, with a ribbon tweeter on top, crossed over with a high quality .47uf capacitor, and a powered sub to lift the bottom end a little, beats everything else I've tried. I have used them with 45,(2watts), 2a3(4.5watts), 300b,(8 watts), and Pass Zen ,(10 watts). I achived good results on all but hard rock with the 45 amp. The sound was ,(is), outstanding IMO.
The sub and 2 way active xover is a must though.
I tried Klipsch lascala horns, which weren't right for my 12 by 24 by 8' room.
