on the cheap ($33US), this Lavoce 6.5cx looks like fun and its 45 degree off axis response not shabby

I wonder how it will compare to the Tang Band W6-2313 (https://www.parts-express.com/pedocs/specs/264-9002--tang-band-w6-2313-spec-sheet.pdf) and W8-2314 (https://www.parts-express.com/pedocs/specs/264-9004--tang-band-w6-2313-spec-sheet.pdf)? It’s not obvious to me if the Satori includes the crossover, although “high-pass Butterworth, 3.5 Hz, 12 dB/oct” is mentioned in the specs. The TBs do not come with a crossover as I recall.
Let’s try that W8 link again: https://www.parts-express.com/pedocs/specs/264-9004--tang-band-w6-2313-spec-sheet.pdf
That looks like a handful for a crossover design. Setting aside the peak and dip, the tweeter's Fs is right around where you'd expect to cross the woofer.
I actually tried out the combination of the SB26STCN, which is the closest to that tweeter in size with the MW19 woofer and it was not a pleasant experience. I wouldn't do that again.
I'd be much happier with a 5+1 midrange-based coax, coupled with some bass support. Like the Seas Excel magnesium coax.

Those Seas Magnesium drivers are great, but not without resonance. Helps with steep xo slopes.
Edit:
I am still thinking of the C18EN002, perhaps I should just get them, for the living room.

The satori coax has been in the coming section for like 6 months.
You'd want to cross this at about 2kHz and steep. Hopefully the loading the woofer cone adds to the tweeter will allow it to work that low or maybe a tad lower.
The tweeter isn't sensitive at all, which leads me to believe it's been optimised so that it can actually work better lower down, which it needs to do.
Woofer at first seems more sensitive but if you were to build a two way, with ample BSC the tweeter and woofer match fairly well.
The woofer is likely to have excellent midrange distortion as per it's satori brothers. We'll have to see how the tweeter does.

If it ever can happen, I'll certainly be interested in that comparison. In the meantime, I'm a bit skeptical; at first sight, I would like to cross that woofer low, lower than the tweeter will accept it.
They didn't give any indications about pricing, did they ?
