Fantastic, thanks. I'm buying from Parts Express, but the SS isn't available there. I'll make up a cart at Madisound and compare the costs, because I believe I can get all my stuff there, as well as the SS. But I like the look of the Peerless because I'm using a Visaton W170S, so the 5-screw drill pattern matches well. 
ETA: I see the SS also has 5 holes, but it's almost double the price, and for that reason, I'm out.

Be careful that you don't substitute my measurements with either the SS or another version of the XT25. The measurements in the LM-1/LM-1C are for the XT25BG only.
If you use a smoother mid-woofer you can get away with the single-magnet version of either brand. The FaitalPRO 5FE120 for instance will get you up into a 3-4kHz crossover area. Also has better power handling than the Peerless I used.

The one I'm going with is the XT25BG60-04. I need to cross it at 1.8 - 2 kHz. Unfortunately I have limited resources, and built speakers which only need the tweeters to be upgraded. They're already excellent, but they'll be better with better tweeters.
As for mid-woofers, what do you think of the Dayton Audio RS150P? I have my eye on that for any future builds.
