I have a pair sitting in boxes. It's quite an investment to build something. GM's MLTL and Bill Fort's cnr MLTL are good options, but there are others. Best source is here, but Google is your friend.

Another similar option (one that I am mulling over) is to build GM's 416 MLTL and add a 288C (or another CD i.e. Radian or B&C) in an Iwata horn with a helper tweeter (ribbon? or fostex bullet tweet?) to get that last bit. Check out Yuichi page for the Iwata. This obviously involves a lot more work with horns and crossovers but could be a killer combo if your room permits it.

Yeah, if I were to use a 604, it would be with a mid horn. Stanley Screamer did an ‘over the top’ stage monitor with dual 604s + mid horn. Way too much for the home, but proved the concept: http://www.lansingheritage.org/images/altec/catalogs/1979-screamer/page3.jpg
It spurred me on to try a 604E in a 825 [A7] cab first by itself and then with a 511/802/500 Hz on top and once EQ’d it was pretty awesome too; though again, even as a mono speaker it was a bit much even for a large, well finished basement.

Thanks for the info, I will check it out
The best tweeter I ever heard is the Heil AMT. Never heard teh Fostex, but there are a lot of great reviews.
