What about the Wavecor BD series? Something like a WF182BD01 or 02 would work very nice in a 2 way I think.
Of the wavecor drivers I've seen tested, I'd say they compare admirably to the top-lines from SEAS/Speak/AT. The Accuton C173-6-090 is supposed to be amazing but costs something quite ridiculous.
Which drivers have you tested?
I was looking at mating the WF152BD04 or WF138WA03 to the Neo 3 (B&G) or TW030WA01
For a matching MTM center speaker WF152BD02 or WF138WA01 to the Neo3 or TW030WA03
Also I was looking at their SW263WA01 mated to their passive radiators for a compact sub and their SW270WA01 for a simpler sub.
I am told that there is a 8" Balanced driver woofer to be expected soon.

Only the ones that Zaph has on his blog, but there's enough there to see that wavecor appear to know what they are doing. The proof would be in the listening though I'd say.
Have you thought about some of the other metal cone mid drivers?
I can't remember where, but I was reading about a new ceramic tweet which looked interesting

Does "ceramic" mean anodised aluminium?
I see they use the term for irons for de-creasing clothing.

There's one tweeter in the design, two in the render to make it twice as pretty 😛
Yes Seas Excel is correct but I've given up on getting it sounding as good I'd like so will be going back to the drawing with that one.
They sound as thin as a fart passing through a crack in a door and I can't stand the horrible looking perforated metal covers they use on their drivers. Looks like badly done car audio to me 🙂 Oh and the square frames they use on their smaller drivers, what is this? The 80's?
So yeah, not really a fan... 😀
I no longer have the LGT but I'm guessing you mean either the vertical array of 4x XLS10 in a sealed cabinet or the box sub with 4x XLS10 in a ported cabinet tuned to 18hz. I have plans for both but only built the ported box which had *&--*!* scary amounts of LF output. The sealed design would need EQ or Linkwitz Transform to achieve the same effect.
Either one of the designs are large:

haha i take ceramic as meaning ceramic... I wasnt aware anodising Al gave you AlO4....i believe heat and pressure are required, else anodising results in a film or AlO or AlO2. Few atoms thick only.
Didn't realize you sold your creation already! Sure the new owner must be very pleased! I am planning for a woofer column with a closed box design with LT/EQ. I wonder if I can ask you some questions? Would you mind if I send you an email for that as this will be slightly off topic
Shin, you should be working for Pininfarina...
They designed speakers for an italian audio company called Aliante if I remember well, but you are doing a better job...
As an Italian by heart (i grew up in Italy), that's no small compliment 🙂 Hats off!

Hi everyone, newbie in here.
Nice work with everything you do Shin.
Here are options based on sounding good and having good price/performance, not in any particular order, dont leave ignored even if it is cheap:
-seas mca15rcy
-monacor sph-130 also al
-vifa pl14wr09-08
-focal 5w3211b
+maybe few others..
-monacor dt-300
-vifa xt25tg30-04
-scan-speak 2904-6000
+few more..
And if you go to high-efficiency there is lot of great drivers wich are pretty cheap but will beat many "high-fidelity" drivers. I personally like this way.
Also you dont need that many (quality) watts to get dynamics. (weird word🙂 is it shortened from dynamite🙂?
