Last year I built the simple Alpair 12.2p Small Reflex designed by Scott and absolutely love the sound, especially the detail. I'm currently running these near-field as a computer setup powered by a headphone amp, 0.5W max and it's just beautiful!
I'd like to expand on this and build something a bit different for my listening room and was thinking of another design by Scott, the Cape-Buffalo-Twin with two CHR120s per enclosure. I'd probably pair these with an Amp Camp which I already have.
I also considered the Seas A26, but in my very limited knowledge I *think* i'd prefer Scott's Twin Alpair. I don't have any firm requirements, a touch more low end over the 12.2p perhaps, listening volumes will be in the relaxed level.
Does this sound like a reasonable progression? I've attached the Buffalo Twin datasheet for reference.

I am finally liking my Seas A26's (in a Dynaco A25XL enclosure) but I think my Alpair speakers are superior (a 10.3M Metronome, and a 5.2 Bloodhound).

Edit: And the Amp Camp Amp rocks!

Thanks for the responses.
Dual drivers pretty much just adds up to +3db of gain, however if not placed correctly will cause convergence (not sure if this is the correct term) issues, but I'm far from an expert.
In my case the attraction is a bit more lower frequency output while making the enclosures physically larger for aesthetic reasons.

You're welcome!
+6 dB: 3 for 2x Sd, 3 for 2x power assuming c-t-c spacing is within a 1/4 WL or sitting far enough away to sum.
Comb filtering.
