That is a nice choice of midrange by Absconditus. This is how you do a passive Scanspeak three way using something similar:

ScanSpeak-3W-Discovery

Although it uses neither of your two drivers, you might say it uses more appropriate ones.

Your ScanSpeak Classic 21W/8555-00 is going to need some complex filtering to deal with the peak at 3.5kHz. You see, his one is easier.

Troels' choice of a ring radiator tweeter rather than a soft dome is also something a lot of people would approve. So now you understand the design choices better, I hope. Good luck, it's going to sound very good regardless. :)

Ok, with the drivers you have chosen so far, you want to stay in the upper end of sound quality. In no particular order:

scanspeak-15w/8530k-00 +/- 350Hz & about 2800Hz
satori-mw16p +/- 300Hz & about 2000Hz
BG, Neo10 +/- 500Hz & about 3000Hz
BG, Neo8-S +/- 600Hz & +/- 3500Hz
Vifa NE149W-08 xo about same as SS above
Vifa NE180W-08 xo about the same as Sarori above

Others can add their own preferences. You might also find these threads helpful:
