Unless I decide to give them another chance and re-use them with an
active crossover, as they look very nice with the mirrored domes.

IMHO, a crossover frequency right slap bang in the middle of the most
sensitive part of the hearing is asking for trouble. As is expecting one
unit to handle the top 4 or 5 octaves. Or the bottom 4 or 5, come to that.

You've just reminded me of poor old Keith. He was a great fan of
full-range drivers.

I was reminded of him this week when I saw in a second-hand shop a pair
of large, nicely home-made, cabinets, each containing a 4" full-range
driver with whizzer cone. Remember this Christmas to drink a toast
to absent friends. "Valves and vinyl, because I say so."
And smoke a Voigt pipe in his memory....

Towards the end he was obviously pretty frail, and on enough
medication to stock a chemist's shop, but he still managed to ride his
huge old motorbikes. I think maybe a lot of the time when he was
extra-cantakerous, it was the pain talking.

Yes of course, went to that bungalow of his and the gear stuffed in a
small "ish" room had to be seen to be believed!. Still he knew what
sounds he liked!...
