Frank -- I recently got my hands on a pair of Snell Type EIIs with the Vifa M21WN coated paper/foam surround 8" woofer, Tonegen tweeter, and Vifa D19 rear tweeter. There is something absolutely magical about a paper 8"+1" 2-way with a large, mildly braced rectangular enclosure/baffle, don't hesitate to build what you have in mind.
IMO, it is one of the finest ways to really enjoy your music instead of worrying about what your system is made of. Salas, Snell, Audio Note, Devore Fidelity, Wilson Audio, Rogers and Harbeth (albeit with plastic instead of paper cones) and Troels Gravesen all seem to be in agreement about this configuration.

No,
i went the easy road...
There once was a very nice diy speaker in the german Klang&Ton published.
(you can find it above in the thread)
A guy in a german loudspeaker forum did a more efficient version with a different tweeter (cat378) and better coils for the crossover.
This is the speaker i build.
