I did some research on the SB26STCN-C000-4 tweeter and think it's the best choice so far. The off axis performance and smaller bezel size should really work out! Thanks for the suggestion, LineSource! This puts the sensitivity at 92.5dB which I also think works for the mid and woofers.
I'm struggling with the midrange and woofers.
Midrange: MR16P-4, also 92.5dB - lower power dissipation is noted
There are higher efficiency options from B&C and Faital Pro but I would end up padding them to match the tweeter.
Woofers:
2x SB29NRX75-6 140L vented at 30Hz - just can't beat the compactness of dual 10"s
Visaton woofers that came up in my search. It looks like it could be nice qith 14mm x-max but I can't find much other than the datasheet. Thoughts on how this compares to the SB34NRXL75-8?

Is the MR16P-4 sensitivity (92.5dB @ 2.83V IB response) high enough keep up with 2x parallel SB29NRX75-6 (94dB @ 2.83V IB response)?
The SS box simulator shows a 32cm wide baffle would drop the IB response by ~5dB to 89dB. That doesn't account for any room gain.

MR16P-4 and SB26 arrived and mounted in a test box with similar to expected baffle width. I am biamping with DSP crossover and some EQ but I can tell there is something special about this midrange!
Any update on your build?
I am pulling the trigger on mr16p-8 + Sb34nrxl75-8.
I ve read somewhere that mr16p4 measures/performs better than mr16p8. Is that true?

Here’s a picture of the cabinets. I have still yet to paint them, but they sound glorious and incredibly loud.
