Gradient W160AL
~$22US -- qt looks manageable for a number of type including the Karlsonator (GregB's hybrid of TQWP and K-coupler), Le reasonable
I have a Gradient Acoustics Axis 8 in a 1955 Karlson K12 and its pretty impressive for the price. A LR filter was necessary to get balance as AX-08 is hot on top.

Google Translate to English indicates the testers were impressed by its value and noted it may be better suited as a 2-way as the un-vented pole piece and "phase plug" shaped dust cap can add artifacts at higher levels. (could the pole piece be vented and covered with mesh to reduce those "hissing" effects when the cone is really moving? - - perhaps a wood dowel phase plug ?
