Yeah, these would work, but they seem to be about 70E each...
Briccolo, it might be easier to turn this on the head. What drivers are available to you that you can afford? We can then help on the selection.

Just found the Visaton WS 17 E driver. The response curve looks ok and you can buy it directly from Visaton online😉
Re: Recommendations for <150$ 2 way project
I am tempted to suggest my Arro Clone. I know, I am biased 😀 . I am putting together a small web site to explain the design.

Hi Bricolo
I have had a quick look though that website and the drivers do seem a little on the expensive side...🙁
I am only really familiar with the carbon fibre and HDA ranges, and looking through some of the specs of the paper cone drivers they seem a little troublesome at the higher end, all fixable, but you may end up spending too much on crossover components to sort out the problems.
I think the way to go is to use the Vitaton I mentioned earlier, along with the Audax tweeter, and probably go for a nice easy 2nd order XO at about 2.2k, as both the drivers will be able to cope with this. You will need to attenuate the tweeter a little as well. It may cost a little more for the drivers, but you will save in the cost of over-complicated XO components.

Let me throw something completely different into the fray... can you get Fostex FE103s and do 4 fit in your budget (in the US they are just under $25 each)

If you're looking for cheap drivers you could also checkout the brand "Number One".
site: http://www.monacor.com/
There's even a french version of the site!
I've never used these drivers, but the German speaker building magazine Klang+Ton rates them very high for the price.
They also sell cheap subwoofer amps

Just done a quick google search, no-one seems to do Fostex drivers in Europe at all🙁
More Euro dealers
http://www.spectrumaudio.de -- FE103 48 euro/FE103E 53 euro
http://www.hifisound.de -- FE103E 62 euro
http://www.studiomaudio.com -- FE103E 48 euro
http://www.madisound.com -- FE103E 31.50 USD
i guess all of these prices push my suggestion out of the price range...
