Default Best units for 2-way DIY speakers

I've been looking at units for 2 way boxes. I guess that generally these are
going to come in 140mm and 170mm for smaller boxes. There's a good index on
http://members.aol.com/NmacSmith/f3mfg.htm though this omits information like
diameter of driver. The choices for 170mm are huge - this seems to be the
standard size for a 2-way these days. However, I thought I'd start with the
140mm ones in case any fulfilled the 'adequate bass' criteria. Choices here
look a bit like:

Morel MW142 and MW144 (virtually the same) (fs52). Looks good in a 29 litre
sealed box! Very flat frequency response up to around 5K so looks like easy to
cross over, even to a ribbon.
Dynaudio 15 W-75 -4 (fs55)
Focal 5 series
Audax HM130C0 (fs46)
Monacor SPH-135C (fs40)
Peerless 850108 CSX 145 H (fs48)
Scan Speak 15W/8530K-01 (fs 30)
Seas MP14RC (fs 48)
Seas P14RC (fs 40)
Seas W14CY-001 (fs 43)
Seas L14RC/P (fs39)
Vifa PL14WJ-09-04 (fs 45)

Any ideas - has anybody tried any of these or can comment at all? I have KEF
B110 right now. Andy
