They don't necessarily need a tweeter but unless your enclosure has a huge volume they just don't have bass. The midrange is sublime - fast and very detailed without any of the Lowther "shout".

I recently heard them on open baffles (mine used to be reflex) and they sound even better. A tweeter should probably be crossed quite high - 8-10kHz.
