best midbass for a horn "mini" monitor?

[E. Billeci]

Sorry if this subject has been covered at length, but I did some searching, and could not come up with anything.

I am preparing to build some "small" (less than 2 Cu ft) monitors with horn tweeters. (TAD 2001 w/10" round tracterix horns)

My goal is to find a "matching" midrange/midbass driver that will extend to aprox 100hz or so.
I will either bi-amp or use an auto-transformer to match the output of the two drivers.
(might not be needed if I reversed the 2001 and ran it without the rear cover (or horn, obviously) and used it as a big dome tweeter..but that's getting off topic..)

The box will be sealed or ported, and the front of the box might incorporate a "directional baffle" (mini horn) around the driver if I need to recess it in order to get vertical alignment with the tweeter VC.

I am looking for a driver that is high eff, smooth response, around 10" or so in size. a pair of 8's or something like that might also work.

I realise that it won't match the sonic character of a TAD, but I am searching for something smaller than my current horn system, with better imaging..

I would appreciate any ideas or experience you can share.

TAD 1100 series will be an excellent match, and will fit into your cabinet requirements.

Figures.

I'm using dual JBL LE10A's, but the TAD's mentioned by Kent, or the discontinued JBL 2012's or 2123's would work with a little playing with the filter. One day I may get to try the PHL drivers which looks pretty good.
